I make a cocktail I named "Who knows" which is 1 shot of green chartreuse, 1 shot of lillet, 1/2 shot of Cointreau, 1/2 lime, shaken with ice. I couldn't find it, but I'm sure I'm not the first, and I'm sure it has a name.

We don't have any cocktail with your combination of ingredients on our database, so I'll be sure to try with a view to adding under your working title: Who Knows. Many thanks.

Several sources make a variant of the Last Word called "The Written Word" that substitutes Cointreau for the maraschino liqueur. I'm like this as I'm not a cherry fan and it's a tasty, albeit quite strong cocktail. I think Cointreau pushed the recipe to be honest.

Also I've concocted a chartreuse accented French 75/Written Word hybrid called "Chai Life" in honor of a neighbor closing on her house. https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/7540/chai-life.

Chai Life looks tasty. I'll also be sure to add The Written Word. Many thanks for the suggestion.
