Ingredients: 3/4 ounce mezcal; 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, from 1 to 2 limes; 3/4 ounce Luxardo maraschino; 3/4 ounce Green Chartreuse; 1 half-centimeter slice serrano pepper (see note); Garnish: serrano pepper slice

This simple variation on the classic Last Word swaps out the gin for savory mezcal and tosses in a slice of serrano pepper, making for a smoky and spicy variation on the drink.

Note: Want it hotter? Add another slice of serrano to the drink, or add in spicy bitters or a shrub such as Bitter End Thai Bitters or Bittermens Hellfire Habanero Shrub to bring the heat.
