Nice, and excellent if you're looking for a way to drink Becherovka. The Becherovka wrestles with the maraschino and lime (Becherovka leads controls most of the taste, then the maraschino and lime assert in the finish). The cocktail is on the tart side, and as suggested earlier by another reviewer, would likely benefit from a egg white to make it a fizz.

Wow. Interesting, and bizarre, at the same time. Very tart, and the secondary flavours that come in are the body of the lime with the allspice/clove of the becherovka, which sort of makes an abrubt left turn. I think this one might be an acquired taste (not in a bad way). Certainly one of the more unique flavour combinations. I'm resisting the urge to add a dash more simple to it to round it out a bit more and take the edge off the super tart lime, but I'll hold off for a few more sips at least.

Update: Okay the drink seems to have come together nicely, and now I have this neat tart tingle on my tongue which plays with the clove spice of the becherovka. I see how this one is supposed to work now. Very nice.

Great Last Word variant; surprisingly not named after that classic but has same 3 of 4 ingredients of the Last Word (just swaps Chartreuse Green for Becherovka) and almost the same 1:1:1:1 proportion.

Quite tart and light bodied. Nice complexity from the Becherovka. Would be nicely rounded by a little egg white, which I’ll try adding next time.

Of course it has a sweet note because of the Maraschino. But the Becherovka adds a good amount of botanical flavors. I used Roku gin but Gin Mare would be a good idea.
