  • This is a remarkably good drink. Subbed 1/2 oz of Smith and Cross in for the Appleton Reserve just to proof it up a little but honestly just really, really good.

Final Benediction

1 oz Gin
1 oz Bénédictine
1 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Stir over ice for 30s. Strain into a chilled coup. Served up, no garnish.

Notes

Complex, well-balanced, and strong. Cointreau really is necessary here. A generic triple sec will result in a drink that's too sweet and much too weak. The drink needs something that's pretty dry and ~40% abv. Dry curacao (e.g. Pierre Ferrand) could probably be substituted, or Royal Marnier as a last resort.

History

Inspired by the Last Word

  • Robin likes it with a little less Triple Sec and a little more Gin — ★★★★★

Made as a frozen drink with Boodles and Pierre Ferrand and a cherry on top. Very good. I've found frozen drinks adopted from non-frozen cocktails need a bit of sweetener compared to standard recipes, but forgot to add it this time and was perfectly fine without it.

What's your chamomile infusion recipe? I made this one using old overholt: https://punchdrink.com/recipes/in-the-pines/

While very good, I found it overpowering in amounts beyond 1oz. I did think the blanco/chamomile combo was key and made a number of drinks with it but with a split base (usually cognac or rum). It goes very well with genepy (as indicated by that recipe) and the Giffard grapefruit.

@bza

Hi, this was supposed to not be published yet because I'm still tweaking it. But if you're talking about the Death & Co, recipe, that's the one. 1 liter to 1/4 cup. I'll play more with it this weekend and see if I should not do a split base with Cognac.

EDIT: Just checked the recipe you mentioned and it is clearly not the Death&Co so I'll share it. They use Old Overholt Rye. 1/4 cup of loose chamomile tea and a 1 liter bottle. Combine, stir well and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Stir occasionally. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve.

bza commented on 4/08/2021:

Interesting, that's a much less agressive infusion than the In the Pines (1/2 cup for 750ml for 3-4 hours). With the Death and Co recipe 1.5 won't be as agressive and the liquor in general should prove more versatile. Thanks!

@bza

In the Cocktail Codex book they use an even lighter infusion 1 gram of chamomile for every 150 ml of rye. 1 hour infusion. I'll try this one this weekend because I think it will be the best one. Thanks for the feedback. This sounds like a winner.

I was not a fan of this, but I will say that may be in part due to the particular passion fruit puree I used. It was not very tart at all, and the drink felt flat. I definitely recommend finding a puree that leans more tart than sweet for this. A Last Word variation really needs the bracing acidity.
