Review

As the name suggests this is simply a Last Word with a hint of ginger. Simple can be beautiful.

And then one day a Penicillin and a Last Word enter into a Bar and then... of course I put a sip of ginger extract, -like I make the first- but the ginger is better with whisky taste. In here, I am drinking this in July so it doesn't taste Xmas. Cute, but not coming here ever, ok. Dear Gus of the future: you did this and didn't like it.

Very nice Christmas cocktail. A slice of peeled fresh ginger on a toothpick made a worthy garnish.

Really, really liked this cocktail. Still a bit on the sweet side for me, but loved the heavy ginger flavour of the final cocktail. As we both love ginger, this earned a list on our favourites. May up the lime juice slightly to lessen the sweetness.

A Last Word a bit made hot by ginger. I am not sure if this is an improvement.

So lovely and surprising, I love the typically Asian aromatics in cocktails like ginger (and pandan, and sesame). Thank you!
