This is an original of mine, created after receiving two gifts at a murder mystery dinner with friends. The gifted bottles are pictured in the background: Flor de Caña 12yr, and homemade spiced apple liqueur.

Closing Argument

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz maraschino liqueur
¾ oz Green Chartreuse
¾ oz mezcal espadín

Garnish: lime twist
Method: combine all ingredients (equal parts) in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with lime zest twist.

A riff on the Last Word that swaps gin for mezcal. Simple as that!

Cuevas

¼ oz cinnamon syrup
½ oz Punt e Mes
¼ oz tawny port
2 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
6 drops Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki bitters

Garnish: maraschino cherry
Method: Stir and strain into a chilled coupe.

Think cinnamon rum negroni and you’ve got it! Substitute Punt e Mes with half vermouth rosso, half Campari (quarter oz each). I didn't have any cherries the day I mixed this one, so I went with a cinnamon stick. Found in the Smuggler's Cove book, page 118.

Where Art Thou

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz simple syrup
¼ oz maraschino liqueur
½ oz dry vermouth
1½ oz butterfly pea flower gin

Method: Shake and double strain into chilled coupe.

I saw this riff on the Aviation from @servedbysoberon@threads.net which thankfully omits the violet liqueur (I'm not a fan). Instead, the brilliant color comes from butterfly pea flower gin. This photo used Empress 1908 but any similar gin works.

Division Bell

¾ oz lime juice
½ oz maraschino liqueur
¾ oz Aperol
1 oz mezcal espadín

Method: stir and strain into a chilled coupe
Garnish: grapefruit twist

A well-known riff on the Last Word. This version came from Difford's Guide. I personally love this one over Last Word itself. It's the mezcal.

The Last Word

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz maraschino liqueur
¾ oz Green Chartreuse
¾ oz citrus-forward gin

Stir, strain, no garnish.

A classic cocktail and an solid starting point for a whole family of riffs. People knock equal parts but I think it's quite balanced.
