it's simply unfuckingbeeatable

I used Green Bay Gin (because why not?). Didn’t have any fresh limes, so I used half and half reconstituted lime juice from a bottle and half sweetened lime juice. It was just right. Loved it and look forward to making this again. My bottle of Green Chartreuse is 3/4 gone, so a new bottle is going on my Xmas list. (I’ll get some limes in)

While closing argument is bold and somewhat funky, this is a very bright and crisp drink, after a 6 months struggle to get my hands on some chartreuse it sure is a delight to mix the Last Word once again.

One of my favourites. Right this moment drinking something like a cherry last word variation of such a thing can exist. 30 ml tanqueray, 30 ml maraska marachino liqueur, 30 ml lime juice, 15 ml dolin vermouth blanc, 15 ml de kuyper cherry brandy.

After trying many variations, what I really suggest, is returning to the original like coming home. It is still one of our top favorite cocktails. I suggest do Simon`s recipe with a bit more gin. And I am sorry to say, but IMHO there is no true replacement for Chartreuse.

Great cocktail. And resilient too! Ordered one at the Algonquin Hotel in NYC and it came in a rocks glass …over a block of ice! I was aghast. But, to my surprise, enjoyed it much … and ordered another!

Absolutely great flavors. Love the chartreuse in there.

A springtime field of wildflowers in a cocktail. Absolutely outstanding!
