  • 2 oz gin
  • Reduced St Germain to 3/4, increased lemon to 1 oz (prefer a more tart drink). Great “Word” variation!
  • Love the Gin-Chartreuse-St. Germain combo. Great boozy summer drink. This and the Lumière have become our new favorites. (I went a bit heavy on the lemon.) — ★★★★★
  • What I actually want when I think I want a Last Word. Make with 1-1¼ lemon as suggested in the comments.
  • Too much lemon cut back or eliminate
  • Nice cocktails, but a bit sweet as written. 1 oz of lemon would be balance sweet; 1 1/4 oz is nicely sour.

A nice, refreshing summery cocktail. A bit more lemon takes the sweet edge off for those that prefer a tarter balance. 1 1/4 oz is nicely tart. 1 oz would probably be popular.

  • I had high hopes for this, but I prefer the good ol' Aviation. — ★★★

Shake, strain, serve up, orange twist garnish

Notes

Lacking resposado tequila, I swapped the aged spirits, and made this with Appleton rum and white tequila. Worked great!

  • Good, quite dry, maybe need 1/4oz cane syrup — ★★★★
  • Refreshing, but would dial back lime
  • Pleasant, but doesn't have a ton of character. 5 dashes of Peychaud's makes it more interesting. — ★★★★

Pleasant. Added 5 more dashes of Peychaud's, which I think really wakes it up, balancing the strong St. Germain flavor.

Only had blanco tequila and used a heavy hand with the Peychaud's, good stuff. I'd maybe add some orange bitters next time, but I think that goes in everything.

  • Rye is overpowered and Falernum is perhaps not needed. Would be better with more rye and less of everything else. Menthol is not too strong. An interesting, but not outstanding drink, but promising.
