the last word . . . the final say, the ending of a debate? possibly yes, but this cocktail is in no way bitter. sweet on the palate, the luxardo introduces the breadth of cherry liqueur with the green chartreuse providing the sweet. a little lime, a little gin and a whole lot of joy. i'd recommend this drink for anyone who likes to get the last say, but more importantly appreciates it when the last say brings contentment. few are suitable to imbibe under these requirements, but all can enjoy.
last word:
3/4 lime
3/4 luxardo
3/4 green chartreuse
3/4 tanqueray
shaken, up, no garnish.
. . . preferably backlit for the photo.
enjoy.
Hmm. The cherry killed it for me. But your writing is superb. Keep it coming.
ReplyDeletethe luxardo is not what you'd expect. it doesn't taste like cherry candy, it's sweet deliciousness. i hate cherry with a passion.
ReplyDeletewhat's wrong with cherry? i love it. i can't eat it all the time, but good in moderation.
ReplyDeletecherry? pass.
