A Quiet Word
A Last Word with light rum in place of gin, hence initially named Light Word, but A Quiet Word had more of a ring to it

Tasty. I used SelvaRey White, Green Chartreuse, & Luxardo Maraschino. The Maraschino is definitely dominant, but the Chartreuse blends well with it to add subtle complexity. The rum is subtle, as well, providing a solid base, with nice citrus tartness from the lime. Excellent variation on the Last Word if you don't like gin, aren't in the mood for it, or just don't have any.

It seems I am in the minority on this one, but to me the Maraschino liqueur overwhelmed everything else. Tried cutting the Maraschino to 1/3, but still not really to my liking.

I agree. The Maraschino is by far the most dominant flavour. I like it, but the Chartreuse seems to get a bit lost which is a pity considering how hard it can be to find a bottle these days.

I know this is probably heresy, but I prefer this to Last Word. Also as someone said below - even better on the rocks!

Supreme! Since, I am blessed with steady supply of Chartreuse, this cocktail is among my top 3 summer/ warm weather cocktails. Lime juice could be increased a notch: 25 ml. And, of course as any cocktail, kindly try it on the rocks - remarkable, smooth and airy.

in 2023 it would be rally helpful that every time a drink that uses Chartreuse is highlighted an alternate be offered using a Chartreuse substitute.

sweeter version of the original.
