Very much enjoyed this. While I am a fan of saline in some cocktails especially bitter ones (and espresso!), I'm not sure it is needed here, at least maybe not two drops,. For me it dulled the drink a little too much. Still, a definite repeat!
Tried this tonight following your comment on Último Raúl Cocktail, another of the Last Word variants. Thank you for the suggestion as this too is excellent .(IF you have good limes!)
I always like my main boozie with more proportion like a crab with a BIG hand. So I left free my hand in the rhum. The salt here is the real game changer. Take it from the daquirinnes. The I read all other comments and i t seems I am not alone with the ful Oz of Rhum! :D
Loved the idea of a Last Word made from agricole rhum. As with all Last Words, I found it a bit sweet with the two liqueurs. Did try upping the rhum to 1 oz which dropped the sweetness level a bit. Next time would increase the lime juice to get a more balanced cocktail the way we like it.
However, it is delightful as per the recipe.
