The Last Word (Key & Genever)

Danny Dawson — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 06:52:24 +0000

Made a last word tonight using key lime juice and Anchor’s Genevieve, quite nice. Was 0.75oz on each ingredient except the key lime juice, which was between 1 and 1.25oz. Claudine enjoys her drinks on the sour side, and I think the extra lime juice helped balance the stronger flavors of the genever.
