Hey - proles - here's a cocktail for you: The Last Word! Fan-frakking-tastic!
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 11:41 PM by Rabrrrrrr
It's an old one, a true classic cocktail, called "The Last Word"

Equal parts:

Gin
Chartreuse (green)
Lime Juice
Maraschino Liqueur

Shake with ice, serve straight up.

Abso-fucking-lutely perfect!

And, of course, because of the Chartreuse, there's no sense using the high end gins like Sapphire, Plymouth, Hendricks, Magellan, Zuidam, Genever, Tanqueray, and so forth - the subtleties will be lost. Those really are gins best used in Gin and Tonics, Martinis, and Aviations.

Use a cheaper gin for this one.

You could probably do okay with Vodka, though I wouldn't suggest Stolichnaya or Svedka, or any of the really cheap vodkas (but that goes without saying - one should not use the "really cheap" versions of anything in anything). I should think that 45th Parallel Vodka (http://45thparallelvodka.com/) would be a perfect vodka for this drink.

Seriously, people - it's just as easy to drink and eat GOOD stuff as it is to eat and drink the shit.

Why not opt for what is good?

Seems a simple decision to me.
