Review:

A tart minimalist take on a Last Word. Depending on your lemon juice, you may want to balance this cocktail with as much as 5ml (1 barspoon) of sugar syrup.

Mixed per the recipe with wet ice, with one exception: our simple is 1:1. For us, an excellent balance, rich with herbs from the Chartreuse and botanicals from the gin. (Bombay is what was close to hand.)

This has potential to become a staple before-dinner sipper on sunny days.

Although I am no real lover of Maraschino, a "Last Word" is IMHO the preferable cocktail.

Excellent. Liking dry cocktails, used 1/2 the amount of sugar syrup. The gin and Chartreuse adds huge burst of flavours. The lemon adds wonderful citrus highlights. Perfect before dinner or as an afternoon sipper.

I used Meyer lemon which isn’t as tart as other varieties. The Harry Craddock versions works fine, sans sucre.
