  • Rhum needs to be high proof. Improves with 1/4 oz. lime juice. Overall MUCH better than the Undead Gentleman.

Existential question--can something be a Last Word riff if it's not equal parts? Can't answer that one, but these ratios work better than equal parts.

History

Been experimenting with using Ancho Reyes (both variants) as a base spirit

Meh, "equal parts" cocktails are rarely best with actually-equal parts, IMO. e.g.: the best Last Word and Negroni recipes I've ever tried aren't equal parts.

Deliciousness always beats purity, and this one is delicious!

drinkingandthinking commented on 6/21/2021:

Proportions just right! I personally would lessen the Luxardo just because I like it less sweet.

  • Made with homemade cordial that was probably too light on the elderflower. The result mostly tasted like tart Champagne. Solid, but nothing special. I guess this would be at least a 4 made with a more elderflower-y cordial.

Some background history is here. Elderflower cordial is quite different than liqueur but has historically been widely available in the UK. It's also apparently available in Ikea.

Zachary Pearson commented on 6/08/2020:

If your area has access to the wines of Selbach-Oster, Skurnik also imports the Nikolaihof lineup which includes a stunning elderflower cordial. Thanks,  Zachary
