The Last Resort

Another excellent variation within the Last Word family. This cocktail uses a heavy pour of Mezcal, fresh lime juice, green Chartreuse, and the addition of pear liqueur to lend a beautiful orchard-fruit sweetness to the smoke.

Ingredients:

  • ¾ oz. pineapple-infused gin

  • ¾ oz. green Chartreuse

  • ¾ oz. fresh lime juice

  • ½ oz. banana liqueur

  • ¼ oz. Cognac

  • Spritz (8) of mezcal

Instructions:

  • In an ice-filled shaker, add all the ingredients except the mezcal. Shake and double-strain into a chilled coupe, then spritz mezcal on top.

    Pineapple Gin: Using excess pineapple that you wouldn’t normally juice (skin, core, trimmings), and one 750-ml—a bottle of gin. Infuse for 24-48 hours, then strain and rebottle.
