Something similar to a Last Word?

Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for a cocktail akin to the classic Last Word, you're in luck with several variations that maintain its character while offering a fresh twist. The Last Word itself is renowned for its perfectly balanced blend of lime juice, Green Chartreuse, dry gin, and Maraschino cherry liqueur, delivering a harmonious mix of tart, sweet, and herbal notes. This timeless cocktail, with a score of 4.9/5, provides a historical and sophisticated drinking experience that is hard to match but quite fun to explore with variations!
One highly recommended alternative is the **Ultima Palabra**, which also holds a 4.9/5 rating. It translates to "The Last Word" in Spanish and appeals through its balanced complexity, combining Green Chartreuse, mezcal's distinctive smoky profile, lime and pineapple juices for a refreshing touch, and maraschino cherry for sweetness. Unlike the classical version, it offers a unique smoky and tropical twist, perfect for those who wish to venture into something familiar yet different.
Another option with a compelling complexity is the **Closing Argument**. Even though it's not shaken, it brings together lime juice, mezcal, Green Chartreuse, and maraschino cherry, resulting in a sophisticated meld of smoky, sour, sweet, and herbal notes that stand out beautifully. Rated 4.6/5, it appeals to cocktail enthusiasts eager for an experience that stretches beyond the traditional yet maintains the original's heritage.
For those keen on experimenting with a flavor combination that swaps lime for lemon and gin for rye whisky, the **Final Ward** might be your choice, with its tart and robust profile adding a warming depth to the Last Word's classic appeal.
