A rum-based riff on the Last Word that swaps gin for white rum — the Chartreuse and maraschino retain their herbal complexity and floral sweetness while the rum brings a lighter tropical note, making for a slightly softer, more accessible take on the equal-parts format.

Rum Last Word

Cocktails with pronounced herbal or botanical character from mint, basil, sage, thyme, rosemary, Chartreuse, or herbal liqueurs. Herbal notes feel green, fresh, and aromatic.

Herbal

Cocktails where lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit drive the flavor. Citrus notes add brightness, acidity, and aromatic zest to a drink.

Citrus

Cocktails where no single element dominates — the spirit, acid, and sweetness are in harmony. Classic sours and well-built stirred drinks often land here.

Balanced

Cocktails evoking the tropics through pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, mango, or guava. Often rum-based and associated with beach, tiki, and vacation styles.
