The spirit of the XVIII century. Was the baroque, in the menu of 'applied architecture' of the Red Door Bar in Paris there was one Baroque made with Rum+Fortified wine+triple sec: it was not the epoque. This 18th century taste like it sound the Purcel's Cold Song, has the same qualities of Churrigeresco architecture: is pure plain 'the spirit of the era' . 16 august I start my new projecto of prepare page by page the Difford's printed guide :d

We think you may need to make a Clergyman's Lapse before moving on from the Last Word.

I thought the crème de cacao would be overpowering here, but it blends very well with the arrack. Reminds me of a Last Word variant with chocolate.

I think this is an error - the recipe in the Death & Co. book lists crème de cacao like other '##th Century' drinks, not apricot liqueur.

Many thanks for bringing to my attention, Benjamin. I've just made Phil's original, and it's delicious. I've amended all above.

Quite liked this. Tasting a hint of spice behind the apricot, perhaps from the vermouth. Balanced and complex but subtle sour.
