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 really like Mezcal, Green Chartreuse and Pineapple, but this is just ok for me. Not as good as either the Last Word nor Naked and Famous. I wanted to really like this, but it just wasn’t quite there for me.
Made it as described and found it delightful! A nice balance of flavors. This could be a good introduction to mezcal for someone. We'll definitely make this one again!
I prefer this over the Closing Argument/Last of the Oaxacans as the pineapple takes the edge off the Mezcal, but I still prefer the regular Last Word. Excellent drink though.
I mistakenly added 3/4 oz of bianco vermouth to this tonight (the spec for an Algonquin was in the back of my mind), and it makes for an interesting effect--a subtle addition that slightly complicates the long herbal finish of the chartreuse. Not sure if it's an improvement, but perhaps worth trying as an odd variation.
