The Final Ward is a dynamic mix, intertwining the spice of rye whiskey and the sharpness of lemon with the herbal vibe of green Chartreuse and a sweet hint of maraschino liqueur—it’s a harmonious dance of flavors, reminiscent of The Last Word, but with its own unique spin.

Notes
- I enjoyed this with Rittenhouse Bottled-In-Bond 100 proof rye whiskey.
- This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a blend of herbal, sweet, and sour notes in their drinks.
