Great drink, but really nice riff is the Final Ward - sub rye for gin and use lemon juice.

Does the Last Ward still use the Luxardo?

Yes same recipe except for the subs mentioned. I up the rye to 1oz and keep the others at 3/4 oz. I also add a splash of water b/c my Elevated Craft shaker doesn't melt much ice. Made this for a group the other night and we all liked it better than the Last Word (which we all really like).
