"The Last Word" on this Christmas day.

It's not tiki, but it is a prohibition-era classic which is quick and easy, and tasty, and can be enjoyed anytime. Give it a moment to "develop" on your palate, then take second and third sips to experience an "aha" moment. Interesting, and good. An example of what quality ingredients can do in surprisingly simple ratios.

.75 oz / 20 ml Tanqueray TEN
.75 oz / 20 ml Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
.75 oz / 20 ml Green Chartreuse
.75 oz / 20 ml Fresh Lime Juice

Fill shaker with ice, add ingredients, shake and double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass. A Nick & Nora glass looks good with this cocktail. Garnish with a half lime wheel - it should be kinda subtle.

[edited to add "chilled" to the glass description]
