Made this with Paul Deville Eau de Vie de Framboise Sauvage, Kirkland American Vodka (we can’t taste differences in vodkas in mixed drinks,) Supercassis crème de Cassis, Argyle Oregon Brut and fresh garden raspberries. Came out looking quite a bit murkier than the beautiful photo but tasted great and very refreshing on a warm day, in full summer.

I also added additional Chartreuse, more yellow than green as I have more yellow, but was fresh out of Chartreuse Élixir Végétal, )actually had never heard of it.) I tried substituting with a few drops each of Fernet Branca and Galliano L’Autentico and it was very, very, good. No idea how it might differ from the given recipe.

Made this with substitutions: used almost the last of my precious bottle of green Chartreuse, tried Galliano to match the color of yellow Chartreuse if not the flavor profile and a dash of Peychaud’s bitters. And goosed it up with 3/4 oz of vodka to get to the same detonation as a French 75. It was delicious!

Was looking for a Last Word variation to husband the remains of a small bottle of Chartreuse and found this. Made with Bombay Sapphire and used a Meyer lemon fresh off the indoor tree. It was fabulous! I used some salt as suggested and did not find it too sweet.
