Again, a “Last Word” for my Tiki Queen and I. 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.

Meant to try this one this evening and in my excitement to have a “Bird of Paradise” I forgot. I’ll do one tomorrow.
