Tequila replaces gin in this riff on the classic Last Word, with the amount of maraschino slightly reduced to accommodate the introduction of lavender...
Had to improvise with the ingredients I had. Altos blanco tequila, Dolin Génépy, Luxardo maraschino, lavender syrup, lime juice, and six drops of that brand new bottle of Chartreuse Vegetal Elixer...Wow! ☆☆☆☆☆
Alright I confess. Since i don't like tequila, i made this with gin which is pretty much a last word. Truth is that I really wanted to try the lavender syrup and bitters. I really liked the lavender but I love a last word just as it is so I'll probably stick with that.
Great balance. Very flavourful cocktail. A bit last word and a bit margarita. Sweet hints. Wonderful tequila tastes come through the other ingredients. Would highly recommend.
Oh my! This is just wonderful. I love a Last Word, and this twist is fantastic. I was looking for a nice cocktail to try my lavender bitters & syrup and this has made its way into the top of my repertoire. Thank you, Mr Difford!
Delicious with violette liqueur! Especially with a maraschino from croatia which tastes much more like the real fruit than Luxardo. As I did not want to overpower the cocktail, I used 2 drops of Angostura instead of Lavender bitters.
