A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Last Word

Posted by Dan. Created by Frank Fogarty, Detroit Athletic Club, Detroit.
3⁄4 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake, strain, straight up, cocktail glass

Notes

Some prefer a bit more Gin. Herbal and funky, initially sweet, then sour. Very balanced. If made with Genever, it's a Latest Word.

History

Robert Hess (Drink Boy) suggest 1/2 oz each. I've scaled this up a bit to a 3 oz cocktail.

Who Makes My Bourbon?

This is the fifth in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

About a year ago, GQ exerpted this great picture from David Haskell's The Kings County Distiller Guide to Urban Moonshining. Click the image on the left to see the detail. It’s pretty easy to see from this that there are really only thirteen major Bourbon producers in the United States. These 13 distilleries are owned by only nine companies.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You can’t walk into a liquor store and not see an entire 50 foot shelf of Bourbons with names you’ve never heard of. Some of them are even local. All of them have great stories on the back about how this particular Bourbon was the favorite of Ulysses S. Grant or Al Capone or was made by some hill-William from a secret family recipe only recently rediscovered inside a hollow log in Possum Lick, Kentucky. Like the Templeton Rye label to the left.

    I was skeptical but this one delivers. Color is also fantastic.

  • Re Lucky Guess, 2 days ago Netminder69 commented:

    Interesting drink. Though I feel the raspberry gets a little lost. I was expecting more of a raspberry flavor to it with a whole ounce of creme de framboise but it's a background note behind the Averna. That said, it does a lot to get past the week old grass rotting in the summer sun taste I typically get from cachaça and makes it a pleasant experience. So kudos for that!

    Tried it with the original proportions, but with homemade raspberry liqueur, Plymouth navy strength, combier triple sec (since I don’t have Cointreau noir), and punt e mes. Unfortunately the punt e mes overpowers it a bit. It opens up with a generous splash of soda.

    Here's an example of how the same ingredients can make a very different drink. This is virtually identical to the Attention ( https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/attention) but the drinks taste very different. The vermouth tames the absinthe and allows the gin to shine though and is a 4 star while the Attention is a 2 star for me...

    Better than a Toronto or a Hanky Panky
