Spirit Forward

Caramel

Here's a play on the Last Word cocktail, swapping out the Gin for some spicy Irish Poitin and adding some ginger to up the spice even more. The Ginger Liqueur is a bit on the sweeter side, so I added just a splash of some Maraschino Liqueur to help balance it out. Poitin was outlawed by King Charles II in 1661 after failed attempts to collect taxes on the spirit. It wasn't legalized again until 1997.

Editor's Note

Poitín replaces gin in this Last Word riff, bringing a rustic, grain-forward bite. Ginger liqueur and Green Chartreuse provide a spicy, herbaceous depth that lingers on the finish.
