ABOUT
I stumbled across this Last Word riff on Ed’s (@ed_tales) page the other day. The recipe is from Difford’s Guide, who attributes the recipe to a Reddit user named Scarecrow1779. Though not equal parts, the recipe follows the original closely, swapping out Chartreuse for dry vermouth and a touch of Aperol. Cheers y’all!
