Final Say

A riff on the Last Word that trades herbaceous Chartreuse for floral crème de violette, the Final Say presents a softer, more perfumed variation on the classic equal-parts formula. The violet liqueur and maraschino create a sweet, almost candied quality, while gin's botanicals and fresh lime provide enough backbone to keep the drink from tipping into cloying territory. The result is delicate and aromatic, with a pale purple hue that matches its floral character.
