Cilantro Last Word
A Classic Cocktail with a Modern Herbal Twist
Simple
About the Cilantro Last Word The Cilantro Last Word is a bold evolution of the Prohibition-era classic, offering a distinctly modern twist. Traditionally made with gin, this version swaps it for Empirical Cilantro, creating a uniquely herbaceous depth. Faccia Brutto Centerbe or Chartreuse adds grassy, alpine notes, while Gabriel Boudier Maraschino and fresh lemon juice bring brightness and tangy complexity, making this cocktail perfectly balanced.

- 1 oz Empirical Cilantro
- ¾ oz Faccia Brutto Centerbe (or substitute with Chartreuse)
- ¾ oz Gabriel Boudier Maraschino (or substitute with Luxardo)
- ¾ oz Lemon Juice
- ¼ oz Simple Syrup (1:1)
Alternatives
- Centerbe — Green Chartreuse or génépy.
- Gabriel Boudier Maraschino — any maraschino liqueur.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
