  • Used Benedictine & Elderflower in place of Chartreuse
  • Very interesting and creative. I might experiment with 1/4 less creme de cacao and 1/4 more rye next time

I love Last Word experiments and variations, but this one seems to let the Chartreuse dominate and lacks the citrus for balance. Maybe swap out the Cynar for lime? IDK, it was a noble attempt but not what I had hoped for.
