I am enjoying a Czech version of the Last Word called Larkwood, using Becherovka herbal liqueur instead of Chartreuse. Becherovka is a yellowish transparent liqueur, with bold ginger and gentian flavours. It's excellent (of course with the lemon juice toned down to 5 ml and gin toned up to 40 ml)!

I find that the Botanist is a really good gin for this drink, probably my favorite, because it compliments the Chartreuse's herbaceousness. If you want another good gin alternative, try Roku to really compliment the maraschino.

A cocktail like this is the perfect justification for the existence of cocktail bars with friendly, experienced bartenders. Visit one today.

The Last Word is maybe the most interesting cocktail I have ever tasted. As you know, there is a big Chartreuse shortage. I go to big box liquor store website, they say Genepy is good substitute and in stock. I go to customer service and no Genepy to be found. The lady asks what for? She says we just got this one bottle of Chartreususe for $75. So I mixed the Last Word, and it was a gin slammer. In my senior years, I don't throw down that much liquor anymore. But we are serving them to guests from Vietnam. And it should be a very interesting conversation piece.

So I found out today that Green Chartreuse is not currently available; at least around here in the Portland area...dang supply chain issues, eh? A locally-made liqueur was recommended, and actually was quite nice. Then I decided to experiment a bit since the 1-1-1-1 ratio is pretty rad to work with and came up with the Örtpirat (Herb Pirate in Swedish, roughly translated). I initially wanted to only swap out the gin with the acricole rum from the Last Word to keep it simple, but I wanted a bit more sweetness without requiring a simple, hence the Swedish Punsch. 3/4oz Rhum Agricole 3/4oz Swedish Punsch 3/4oz Maraschino Liqueur 3/4oz Lemon juice Shaken, Up, cherry on the bottom of a Nick & Nora. Delightful!

I can hardly think of any cocktail made at home as being expensive. Where I live, you’re going to pay $14-16 plus tax and tip for this drink. These three bottles will run you $160. I can make a heck of a lot more than ten of them with that gin, Lucado, and chartreuee. As in, with these three 750ml bottles, with spillage, I can make 30 of them. $5 apiece. Is that math right? Or have I had too many Last Words tonight?
