Named after the direct Spanish translation of Last Word, hence the use of mezcal in place of the gin in a classic Last Word cocktail. Pineapple juice...
I followed the recipe (including its simple ratio) here for the Ultima Palabra with the substitution of Yellow for Green Chartreuse, and really enjoyed it. I liked the earthy smokiness of the mezcal coming through as a tangent from the juniper of a gin.
Ok, I did also use a reposado Xicala mezcal, but I don't think the barrel resting mad a difference that came through, but who knows.
