The Last Word

A prohibition cocktail that is still a classic today. Gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino and lime, Topped with a Luxurious Luxardo Maraschino Cherry.

Ingredients

  • ¾ oz Spring44 gin other gins to try an Old Tom gin, empress 1908 gin or Spring44 mountain gin are great too
  • ¾ oz Green Chartreuse
  • ¾ oz Maraschino liquor
  • ¾ oz fresh lime juice
  • 1-3 Luxardo Maraschino cherry

Instructions

  1. Chill a coupe glass in the fridge for a bit to get really cold, or in the freezer, if you are in a pinch, you can fill the glass with ice to cool it down quickly
  2. Combine the gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice.
  4. Shave vigorously for 10 seconds or so to get the cocktail very cold, the shaker should be very frosty.
  5. Pour into the chilled coupe glass and garnish with the cherry, traditionally it is one cherry, But 3 on a cocktail pick is fun too. You can also let a single cherry sink to the bottom of the glass as a prize at the end.

Recipe Notes

Note sometimes, in a few versions of this cocktail, they have added a splash of soda water I did not.
