History

Inspired by eGullet user elix, who called for a Last Word variant by this name employing Bénédictine. It ended up being more of a Sidecar/Widow's Kiss variant. If you'd like to name an equal parts brandy/Bénédictine/Maraschino/lemon drink, it's yours for the taking.

Like but don't love, with Torres 10. Next time I'd at least up the brandy, maybe dial back the liqueurs a bit
