.75/.75/.75/.75 gin (Beefeater, Maraschino, green chartreuse, lime juice), shaken, double strained into a chilled Nick and Nora, drop in a brandied cherry.

I had my first LW last summer, I've been trying to get my hands on one for a while to see if I could justify the price of chartreuse. It was as good as advertised, but I couldn't find a bottle anywhere. I finally broke down and was overpaid through an online retailer, but sometimes that's the way it goes. Next up is a Final Ward.
