As Peter Konkoly, this cocktail's creator, says, it is reminiscent of a Last Word. However, we prefer this tasty drink served on-the-rocks as an aperitif...

Its delicious. always less suze, like everybody else says here. Now, the only -cherry- was Luxardo Cherry Sangue, and is very tasty . Ths Suze and the Y Chartreuse sparks here. but gives a lot of flavorS. My last word is that maybe this is not a last word but is lovely.

We do a variant of this whereby we substitute 25ml Nonino Grappa and 5ml Luxardo Cherry Sangue Morlacco for the eau-de-vie. That way, we can keep the Suze at 30ml, as specified. Nice and bold and luscious for us.

Like others below, I cut the Suze to 3/4. I also increased the kirsch to 1 1/4 and replaced the sugar rim with 1/3 simple syrup (you really need the bit of extra sweetness, I think). All in all an excellent drink, leading off with mild cherry before transitioning to herbal notes, and finishing off with mild gentian bitterness.

I never comment but this is absolutely phenomenal. Admittedly I can't taste the Kirsch but my bottle of G. Miclo has been open a long time. This is no bad thing however, as when it was fresh I really didn't like it! Don't know why but I prefer a great many cocktails on the rocks (like here) rather than up.

This is yummy! I do recommend cutting back the gentian liquor ( I used aveze) and scaled it down a bit to fit more nicely in a highball glass.
so 3/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/2
so 3/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/2

With the gentian equal parts to the other spirits you lose parts of the chartreuse and most of the cherry notes from the kirsch
