The Last Wall Highball

Also known as the "Dirty Word," The Last Wall Highball is a tall, effervescent riff on the classic Last Word template. The cocktail shakes an equal-parts base of pure mezcal, Yellow Chartreuse (or génépy liqueur), sweet maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice, which is then strained over ice and lengthened with a splash of soda water. The resulting profile transforms the dense, herbal, and smoky nature of its inspiration into a bright, deeply refreshing, and highly botanical cooler.

Ingredients:

• 25 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 25 ml Yellow Chartreuse (or génépi liqueur)

• 25 ml Luxardo Maraschino liqueur

• 25 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 25 mlThomas Henry Soda Water

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.

• Prepare a lime slice wheel for garnish.

• Shake the first 4 ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass.

• Top with soda.

• Garnish with a lime wheel.
