1 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1 oz Yellow Chartreuse
1 oz Lemon Juice
1 barspoon St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
(*) Equal parts El Dorado 12 Year and a white Puerto Rican rum
For my second drink at Sycamore, I gave the suggestion of an equal parts drink to bartender Scott Shoer. He thought for a moment and then remembered a recipe created by Rob Iurilli when they both worked at Abigail's in Cambridge. The recipe was a rum-based riff on the Last Word that also included a fifth element -- a dash of allspice dram.

Tried this for my evening cocktail (last evening was a Final Ward). I really enjoyed the difference that the Yellow Chartreuse brought to the cocktail. On the other hand, I found that the allspice dram brought a bit muddyness to the party. In my opinion, allspice dram in a smaller proportion (or citrus in a larger proportion) would be more appealing.
I found the touch of allspice so tantalizing that I plan to carefully up it a notch next time. Loved the luminescent color of this Last Word variation. It’s a keeper.
