I really enjoy this drink and wouldn't want to tinker with the gin as I believe 2oz is needed to balance the "kiss from the aromatasized wine and Maraschino". If anything, I might decrease those for a more delicate kiss rather than the gin!

At John's suggestion below increased the gin. I went 45ml gin and reduced the orange juice to 20ml reduced the sweetness and orange notes which for me improved the overall balance of this cocktail which I very much enjoyed.

What are the chances; as I drink this, I am writing an anniversary card to my wife with a BIC pen, on the day the ballpoint pen came to be! Alas, it has been months that one has been able to purchase Green Chartreuse in Canada so I have used Yellow. I am surprised that unless I missed it, while there are Last Word variants that use Yellow Chartreuse, none use gin as the base spirit. So with the assistance of a Google search and AI, "I" can report that using Yellow in place of Green results in a "sweeter and less herbaceous, more citrusy finish" with less total ABV. Still, a very good drink.

Tried this tonight and have three comments. First, this is an excellent cocktail. Second, should anyone have reservations with added dilution if using "dry" ice, it very much benefits this drink. Lastly, if you love absinthe as I do, don't double the amount as I did (see De La Louisiane #2 which does use double the amount suggested here); I suggest you don't! It overpowered this otherwise lovely cocktail.
