June 10-Final Ward

When I mentioned in another post that we weren’t done talking about Last Word riffs, this was the drink I was talking about. This one is admittedly more likle a Last Woird than the Division Bell was and it has what I woulod consider a much better name for a Last Word riff especially one made by Phil Ward himself. I mean he literally brought out a thesaurus and used his name in it, How creative is that? This one wqas created in 2007 by Phil Ward at Death and Co.

I will say that this cocktail is hard to make these days as it includes Chartreuse. There are many substitutes I’ve seen like Faccia Brutto (which is the one I recommend) but nothing will beat actual chartreuse. This cocktail also features Rye, maraschino and lemon juice. All of these are in equal parts so it’s easy to puit together.
