The Final Say

3⁄4 oz Gin (Any old Beefeater variant will do)
3⁄8 oz Bénédictine
4 dr Absinthe
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Build in shaker; add ice, shake until frosty. Double strain into up glass

Notes

Wanted a Last Word, didn't have Green Chartreuse. Did a little internet research, and found an interesting suggestion for combining Elderflower liquer and Benedictine as a sub. Added a bit of absinthe for that anise kick.

  • The sake largely stays out of the way which leads to a surprisingly medicinal outcome (although not in any way unpleasantly). The drink is good, but feels flat.

In the Light of the Sun

2 oz Light rum, Diplomatico Planas
1⁄2 oz Coconut liqueur, Kalani
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Marie Brizard (Blanc)
1 ds Strega
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. Garnish with lime twist or lime wheel.

Notes

The Diplomatico Planas is a 6 year (filtered), 94 proof light rum, so it's of a significantly higher proof than most others in the category. As an alternative, you could use Bacardi Heritage 1909 (89 proof), use a 80 proof light rum split with a bit of Wray & Nephew White Overproof (though you'll get a bit of that Jamaican hogo), or 2.25 oz of an 80 proof light rum.

1 1⁄2 oz Brandy
1 oz Limoncello, Pallini

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

The sake works to "smooth" the brandy and let the limoncello stay on top.
