Just a great drink to cleanse the palate before a grilled Ribeye. Mentioning the Last Word reminds me of another Chartreuse cocktail which has a very tiki quality to it (IMO), the Chartreuse Swizzle. Not drinking it right now, but when I do, I like Robert Hess' formulation: 1 1/4 oz green Chartreuse 1 oz pineapple juice 3/4 oz lime juice 1/2 oz falernum Swizzle with crushed ice (or shake with ice and strain over crushed ice) in a tall glass. Garnish with mint sprig and fresh nutmeg.
