If you enjoy a “Last Word” but can’t find Green Chartreuse, we highly recommend this cocktail as an alternative. We modified the original recipe a fair amount, so you might need to as well. The Violete can quickly overpower the drink, so experiment and start lighter. And stick with a mild gin like Plymouth or Old Tom.
Cheers!
