I knew why after I tried it, the flavours do dance around the tounge from sweet to sour to bitter,and goes down easy. So balanced, so simple to make, and manges to showcase the complexity of its components. I order it at any bar I find yellow chartreuse, benedictine, and rye.Buzorakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633449219815836795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-21717847663654360942010-02-12T15:09:10.993-05:002010-02-12T15:09:10.993-05:00Monte Carlo I can see.

Most likely named after the Benedictine monastery called "Monte Cassino".frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-3831693806892325532010-02-12T13:28:50.530-05:002010-02-12T13:28:50.530-05:00Chuckle, I believe the name comes because it is a ...Chuckle, I believe the name comes because it is a kind of combination of the Monte Carlo and Casino cocktails.erik.ellestadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845962797641281899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-70013543332751684222010-02-12T11:58:46.180-05:002010-02-12T11:58:46.180-05:00Rye, green Chartreuse, Maraschino, and lemon would...Rye, green Chartreuse, Maraschino, and lemon would be a Final Ward. With yellow, I could see how that would be a good entry into the genre cocktail (although a bit sweeter than the Last Word or Final Ward).frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-39322295818598733842010-02-12T11:49:03.617-05:002010-02-12T11:49:03.617-05:00With Maraschino instead of Benedictine (which, as ...With Maraschino instead of Benedictine (which, as you say, puts it more in the Last Word family), this is my standard gateway cocktail for friends.
