Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)
-
That’s an interesting idea. Love TLW. It’s become quite hard to find Chartreuse in the states though.
-
Not that it helps sourcing any better, but one of my favorite last word riffs is the naked and famous;
Equal parts, lime juice, aperol, mezcal, and yellow chartruese. Honestly I like this better than the original as I find the maraschino in that high of a proportion to still be a little sickly to my taste.
In a pinch, subbing benedictine or genepy for the chartreuse would be OK.
Favorite last word riff?
Industry Sour; eq. parts green chartreuse, fernet branca, lime juice, and simple syrup. -

Mezcal Last Word
You should try to replace the chartreuse with some "Génépi" liquor
it has more flavour -

@gouki74 thanks, I’m always up for something new to try
Hope you can find some in the states tho
I don't know if it's feasible but if you need some chartreuse or Génépi, i live right in the middle of the region where all of it is produce, with others things without labels (if you know what i mean
) -

@gouki74 with all due respect to my friends in the States I am very happy that I live in Bavaria. I'll have to check out some shops to see if I can score some
Ah ok excuse me, i thought you live in the US

@gouki74 no worries, appreciate the advice on génépi
Always happy to help

@pechelman there’s also the Final Ward. The version I like subs rye for gin, lemon for lime, and yellow for green chartreuse (this latter substitution seems to vary across versions; some retain green)
-
That's a good version too as is the Paper Plane. (bourbon, aperol, lemon, amaro nonino)
Somewhere out there on reddit is an "equal parts cocktail" list that is essentially a massive collection of these riffs.
The other 2 I marked as enjoying were the;
Final Voyage: Smith & Cross rum, lime, green chartruese, and apricot liqueur
Bitter Apricot: Rye, lemon, campari, and apricot liqueur -
@Matt @pechelman HELL YEAH!! Good times
-
@TinMan yo that stuff aint half bad for a 114 at that price point. I was surprised.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I was for sure pleasantly surprised, it was like 25.99 at my local. First time purchase a while back and I would probably buy it again.
-
yeah man, super good in a julep or old fashioned. Another that i was surprised by was this. Probably wouldn't even have tried it if it weren't recommended by a buddy. Cheapest single barrel i think ive ever tried.
