take the last word, (see last post,) take away any hard feelings and relax. phil ward of the pegu club has created a beautiful modification with this one. where the last word could arguably be too sweet for the common man's palate, the final ward has the proper finish to balance out the chartreuse and lemon. this drink is arguably tangier, but much more potable with the rye giving an earthy finish. i'm not telling you that this will change your life, but it may change what you order next time you see the last word on the cocktail menu. the final ward:
3/4 rye
3/4 luxardo
3/4 green chartreuse
3/4 lemon
shake, up, no garnish
enjoy.
p.s. luxardo is rapidly becoming my favorite liqueur second only to grand marnier. apparently you can put it on berries in the morning!? that's genius. i wish i had thought of that.
