Dernier Mot
Shake, strain, straight up, cocktail glass
Doug Ford of Cold-glass.com substituted Lemon Hart Demerara for Rhum Agricole.
Dernier Mot means Last Word in French. The Last Word uses gin rather than rhum.
- Used La Favorite Blanc. Its wet-grass elements can sometimes be domineering, but here they worked really well. The maraschino was in harmony, too, which isn't always easy to achieve. Outstanding! ★★★★★
- Rum makes the maraschino really come out
- Outstanding
- Super yummy. The seond time I made this, I added a few drops of homemade mole bitters.
- Last word variation. Great with Rhum JM. A bit more subdued with Clement VSOP.
- Last Rites — Blanco tequila, Herbal liqueur, Maraschino Liqueur, Lemon juice
- The Last Wynd — Cuban rum, Herbal liqueur, Maraschino Liqueur, Lime juice, Honey
- Fir Geddaboudit — Eau de vie of Douglas Fir, Herbal liqueur, Maraschino Liqueur, Fernet Branca, Lime juice, Grapefruit peel

This rummy variation is so good. I used the Clement VSOP ( I am no rum expert, but really love this stuff) . Seems the chartreuse/maraschino/citrus combo is good to a variety of spirits.
