Spring Feeling

After a path of many many days of last words -I am in the task to taste all Last Words here- now I am bored. We are in the second bottle of green chartreuse. So even when nobody recommends it, today I make this recipe with Jaggermeister. I know, police will come. The Pope must excomulgate me. My name is no longer in the book of life. I am in heresy. But, it was a must to introduce a change: herbal ok, different herbal double ok. If this is a minimal version with the Jagger, is refreshing: a new taste.
The police will come? take me to the cellar. Am I bold? Certainly I am

Made for the first time last night using Indian jaisalamer gin and again tonight using Gin Mare. Loved both versions. Followed the ‘recipe’ using about 3 mls of sugar syrup. I liked the Spring Feeling a lot more than The LastWord. I have found a new favourite. Thank you😃

Had this again, but we eliminated all the sugar syrup. Resulted in a cocktail which had a touch of sweetness, but wonderfully herbal. Very refreshing.

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.
