Last Word Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to properly chill it.

Measure ingredients

Measure 2 oz of Tito's Vodka or Tanqueray Gin, 0.75 oz Green Chartreuse, 0.75 oz maraschino liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Add about 1 cup of ice to the mixing glass or shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and properly diluted.

Prepare glass

If you used ice water to chill the glass, discard the ice water. If you chilled in the freezer, remove the glass now.

Double strain and serve

Strain the shaken cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer (and the shaker strainer) into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove small ice shards for a silky texture.

Garnish

Express a lime twist over the cocktail to release oils and drop it in, or garnish with a Luxardo cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.
