The Last Word

Originally from Ted Saucier, published in 1951, this cocktail was revived by Seattle barman Murray Stenson, this recipe makes two reasonable sized cocktails, although you can make one jumbo one from using 1 ounce of each ingredient. If you do, don’t plan on being able to have a second!

Servings: 2 cocktails
Course: Drinks , Cocktails , Others

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces maraschino liqueur (such as Luxardo)
  • 1 1/2 ounces green chartreuse (Izzara can be used if Chartreuse is unavailable)
  • 1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Chill two stemmed cocktail glasses in the freezer.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice. Add the gin, maraschino, Chartreuse and lime juice.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds, until well chilled. Strain into the chilled glasses.

Notes

  • Note: Maraschino liqueur is usually available at well-stocked liquor stores. You can get it in Paris at some Italian food/specialty shops and at La Maison du Whisky.
