Last Voyager

     Following a semi-lax formula for the Last Word, I decided to exchange the Maraschino for Velvet Falernum. And as I love lime juice, I doubled the amount making the drink more daiquiri-like. The result was herbal, tart and sweet. All the things I look for in a refreshing cocktail, very well rounded too.





Last Voyager
3/4 oz. gin (New Amsterdam)
3/4 oz. Velvet Falernum
3/4 oz. Green Chartreuse
1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
- shake and strain

  1. i tried the drink tonight with all equal parts as per the original "Lat Word" cocktail but found the cocktail too sweet. Good but slightly cloying and needing that extra dose of lime.
