I discovered The Last Word after searching for something to make with gin and Chartreuse, and while I quite enjoyed my first stab at it — it homed right in on my taste for sour — I felt the lime juice overpowered all the other flavors. Next round, I halved the amount of lime, upped the gin by a couple of dashes (I used an Old Tom), and found the result much better balanced to my taste. Anyone else feel the 1/4 lime juice ratio obliterates the complexity of the other ingredients?
