Just tried this with Boomsma Cloosterbitter replacing the green Chartreuse; it's a worthy substitute allbeit a much lower a.b.v. End results excellent.

This seems to be the same as another cocktail which is also on Difford's, a drink called Last Of The Oaxacans. A good drink!

Thanks for pointing out, James. I've added a link to the Last of the Oaxacans above.

Excellent. And easy to remember recipe... Got 5 stars. Another Last Word variation that I really loved is the Yes Dear!, with pisco.

Good with tequila, too. Cayéya in my case.

Love the variation, but I hate the name. I’d rather order a "Mezcal Last Word" and have the bartender say, "You mean a 'Closing Argument'?" Then I’d reply, "I hate that name. How can a variation of a two-syllable name turn into such a syllabic nightmare? 'Closing Argument' is pompous fluff, and I will wage a well-balanced war on that name."

The bartender says "I don't get paid enough for this, sir—I didn't name the drink." I’d say "Well, you get paid enough to correct me in front of my wife!"

Nicely balanced cocktail. I would fine strain to increase clarity.

Agreed. Thanks, Cameron. I've amended accordingly.

So well balanced a cocktail. I’m keeping a close eye on my GC levels given the current drought though

I frequently split my Chartreuse 50/50 with Génépy and with good results. Sipping on one right now!

Strangely enough this was the first drink that I was taught how to mix. Feels a bit nostalgic for me, and the taste is equally sublime. One of my all time favourites, really looking forward to getting a bottle of chartreuse in my possession and mixing this for friends.
