Your diary is going to have to become a cocktail book. Maybe entitle it "In the beginning was the Last Word".

I am really not into Highballs, the longer the drink I feel like I am losing time to sip more and more cocktails. But this is the 5th in to the final countdown to end tastin' all Last Words here. Its amazing its so smoky even with the Sparkling. Very good, and refereshing. The same that Highballs and whiskies -I know there are huge in Asia- Is not my cup of tea. I want to live ouside boundaries, tasting all cocktails available: to boldly drunk where no man has gone before.

This a great riff on TLW. Hard to come up with something new since this is probably one of the cocktails having the most variants. Here’s my tweak on the OG:

1 fl oz Espadin Mezcal (Montelobos)

1 fl oz Yellow Chartreuse

1 fl oz Maraschino liqueur (Lazzaroni)

1 fl oz Lime Support Pseudo Juice

1 fl oz Sparkling Water (S. Pellegrino)

Honestly, I could probably knock back several of these if I had nowhere to go and was sitting oceanside on a beach being served.
