Really enjoyed this one. It defies easy categorization in the best way. The essence of tiki, like tiki in its work week clothes. I liked it with a touch less orgeat (1/2 oz) but also great as is. Nutmeg really in play and it adds so much.
I safeguard my bottle of green Chartreuse as well. I’ve found Luxardo Del Santo with a few drops of Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse to be a closer substitute for green than Genepy. I use Genepy as a sub for yellow Chartreuse, also with a few drops of Vegetal. In any case, must have my sub because the Last Word is always in my rotation.
No Pamplemousse liqueur so I subbed homemade apricot liqueur as well as Regan’s Orange for the bitters and it was lovely. A left-hand Monkey Wrench perhaps?
