I looked up the recipe for “The Last Word” cocktail. Looks interesting, but the ingredients cost as much as the yo-yo. In Ohio, the Chartreuse is $65 a bottle.
The Last Word*
3/4 oz. gin
3/4 oz. chartreuse
3/4 oz. maraschino liqueur
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
I’ll never run out of beverages, but I’m digging deep into my small Yo-Yo collection.
During the prohibition the alcohol was less than desirable so cocktails were created to make them palatable. One drink is the Bee’s Knees which was developed to cover the low quality gin taste. I’m modifying the drink to match my modified Duncan Hornet.
I believe this cocktail is called “The Last Word” not “The Last Call”.
Maraschino Liquor can be expensive too, but both it and Green Chartreuse last a long time on the shelf and you tend to only use a little in each drink.
No worries. The Last Word is kind of important as cocktails go. It’s considered the base for a whole genre of cocktails that use 4 ingredients in equal parts, such as the Paper Plane (bourbon, aperol, amaro nonino, and lemon juice) and the Naked and Famous (mezcal, yellow chartreuse, aperol, and lime juice).
Tbh I eyeballed the ingredients here so I don’t have exact ratios but if you taste it during the process you can add certain things to taste. Blend it up, enjoy and throw while sipping.
Once again with these types of drinks I just eyeball the ingredients, so I don’t have ratios for ya - it’s all to taste. But blend that sucker up, salt the rim and enjoy. And while the JS is just begging to be used in a contest, just make sure you stay off stage otherwise you’ll get negative clicks and lose the contest cause this thing is STRONG
