The Last Word Cocktail Recipe

This clean, classic cocktail is beautifully balanced. Plenty herbal, a little astringent, a little acidic, and just a touch sweet, it’s a perfect way to bid farewell to summer — and equally lovely anytime.

Notes

  1. If you like, you can batch this cocktail for a party. To make eight drinks, up to three hours before serving time, pour into a pitcher: one cup gin, one cup green Chartreuse, one cup maraschino liqueur, one cup freshly squeezed lime juice, and ½ cup water. Give it a good stir and pop it into the fridge. To serve, divide among glasses and garnish each with a Luxardo cherry.
