The Last Word
This is a classic gin cocktail. I just had The Last Word for the first time in Sedona, AZ. It’s delicious and easy because it’s equal parts of each ingredient which means you can easily make multiple cocktails or even a pitcher full for a party without doing any math. Just shake each cocktail with ice before serving.
3/4 oz gin3/4 oz green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Luxardo liqueur
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
Lime wheel or a twist of lime for a garnish
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake vigorously and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with lime.
Cheers!

French 75
This is a nice before dinner cocktail. It’s a little sweet, so I typically can only drink one.
1 oz gin1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup (heat 1 part sugar with 1 part water until sugar is dissolved, chill in the fridge for up to 1 month)
2 oz champagne
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice; combine gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake and strain into a champagne flute or coupe glass.
Top with 2 ounces of champagne and garnish with a lemon twist.
Cheers!
