There are numerous riffs on the last word - these are two rye whiskey variants. If you're a fan of the last word, definitely give these two a try! What's your favorite last word riff? 🧐😊
As an Agave fiend, I gotta go for the Naked & Famous by another superstar from Death & Co, Joaquín Simó. Smoky, sweet, bitter, earthy, citrusy… aperitivo!
Love it! Have you tried the Monte Cassino, but swapping out the rye for cognac? It's luxuriously delicious and then becomes an all-French cocktail, so I guess it could be called Le Dernier Mot? Does that already exist?
I quite like Greg from How to Drink’s Mezcal variation: 3/4 oz Mezcal 3/4 oz Maraschino 3/8 oz Green Chartreuse 3/8 oz Ancho Reyes 3/4 oz lime juice I also love a Monte Cassini with a couple dashes of Angostura
It’s definitely working. I can’t tell you how many Friday afternoon Binny’s runs I’ve gone on as a result. Gonna try the Monte Cassino tonight, thankfully already have all the bottles 👍
Keep doing these verus style videos with 2 similar cocktails. I learn so much from just seeing the subtle differences in the cocktail, like how the lime changes to lemon to pair with whiskey and the benedictine rounds out the drink more. Excellent.
Truffles On The Rocks recommended your channel but I can assure you I subscribed purely based on your own merits. Most importantly, I just love your personality, kind of fun and silly, but you also know your stuff, well explained even for people new to cocktails, and I enjoy hearing the history of the drinks. Like a good drink, you have a _balance_ of entertainment and education. The overall video quality is great, too. Your videos are definitely on par with How To Drink, but still your own thing, not just a copy of him or anything. You deserve much more subscribers and I'm expecting your channel to blow up soon, 10/10
Hi Anders, I’m really enjoying your channel. Weekly I’ve been working my way through many of your recipes and subsequently my friends are too. Our worlds have changed for the better. I really enjoy the back stories to the cocktails and their ingredients. Cheers to you and yours…!
I binged your channel over the holiday weekend and I can't thank you enough for bringing the Monte Cassino into my life. Sweet lord is it a tasty drink. More yellow chartreuse recipes, please!
Those looks so good. I love your sense of humour and the nice vibe of the videos. Today I really enjoyed the graph with the glasses explaining the "evolution" and the specifics of each drink. Great video. I assume the only thing left to do is to try those two side by side and check what fits better my palate. Cheers
I just tried one of monte casino! great! the final ward is one of my all time favorites, but this „new“ twist on the final word is absolutly marvelous! the honey, the licorice, the sweet `n’ sour ratio… brilliant!
I think I made “The Final Cassino” did have pretty much all the ingredients but Benedictine and green chartreuse, so I swapped with yellow chartreuse and marraschino, and must admit it’s pretty good. Thanks for the tips, drinks and recipes. ❤️
Awesome video you guys! I remember giving the Monte Cassino to a guest once. He felt in love with it so much, that he kept coming to the bar for the next month every week haha. Haven't had that one in a while
Just had a "Final Word" at Pauline's in VT. They made it with Basil Hayden Bourbon, Chartreuse, Luxardo, and lemon juice with a Luxardo cherry. It was heaven! If you're ever in South Burlington, VT I highly recommend Pauline's. The cocktails and food are always delightful!
I tried the Monte Cassino with green chartreuse because I do not have yellow.... not great. The final Ward might be my favorite cocktail ever by the way. Love the videos. Yes, I'm dringking at 06:30. I work night shift and this is my day off. Still cant sleep until 0700-0800 in the morning on days off. Wife hates it....
Thank you as always for this video. I’m making both for friends around for a Saturday dinner and you’ve made the evening. Also your wife is very engaging and interesting and I hope she’s included in more videos. Oh and lastly it turns out no one looks good shaking two tins at once :) have a lovely weekend. Thanks again
Anders. First off, I love the Monte. It is by far my favorite new cocktail, I can't get enough of them. I was so excited to make them my first time that I took my brand new citrus peeler and sliced off half my fingernail! Almost all better now. Second, you should give it a try sub Mezcal for the rye! I used Bozal. Everything else identical. It is surprisingly perhaps equally good. I called it a Killer Casino haha. Anyway, please keep the brilliant obscurities coming! We love your videos.
I guess, most of us viewers don't know a lot about cocktail mixing. I for example don't have any idea how all of those liquors taste. It would make sense if you would explain them a little bit. Anyway, great video, great recipe! I'm gonna try both :)
After making a paper plane last week and finding it a bit light on flavour vs a lot of other cocktails, i thought about the fact that there's something sort of Chartreuse like about Amaro Nonino so i made a Monte Cassino riff (which I called a Monte Nonino) by substituting the yellow Chartreuse with the Nonino. It was delicious! And had quite a bit more punch than the paper plane. I'm a sucker for a last word riff 😁
Terrific video and cocktail variations, Anders!! I know, right away, that these are going to both become faves. These ingredients are some of the ones I enjoy the most! I can't remember who, but someone I recently saw, making a cocktail, in a Nick and Nora glass - perhaps it was Nick Strangeway - former bartender/owner in the U.K and now he is a partfounded/owner of Hepple Spirits - fabulous Gin! - said, to him, the style of glass is so beautiful, it doesn't need a garnish. I can see that, actually! I can't wait to try both of these amazing variations! Exciting! I have mistaken the name of the cocktail, too!!
That's wonderful, Christine! I hope you enjoy these cocktails! I agree the Nick and Nora glass is so simple and beautiful on it's own. I'd love to try the Hepple Spirits Gin - thanks for the tip!
I subbed in Green Chartreuse for the yellow in the Monte Cassino, and it was amazing! I'll have to grab some Yellow C. and try the real thing some time.
Just splurged on a bottle of yellow chartreuse for the flying Dutchman from last week. I love being able to just search your channel for recipes. I think I like the Monte cassino a little more.
Nice looking logo at the end! And a slight font change too? Can't wait for Vino to ask you about the meaning behind the bear when you do the PubCrawl talk!
I don’t think I ever thanked you for introducing me to the Monte Cassino. It is now my official bad week at work Friday night treat; and I work in non-profits….
Dear Anders, I tried out these two recipes and I like them more than The Last Word. I found out that is important to use a higher quality Rye Whiskey and I especially like the Monte Cassino, although I still thought it could use something extra. A lemon peel garnish or rub would do it, but then that Celery Bitters bottle which I never use came to my mind... It was really the extra I was looking for! Yellow Chartreuse is an ingredient that I only use in the Cariño Cocktail, which is my favourite modern classic. Did you ever tried it? Would be a very nice episode on your channel! All the best, Eddy from Belgium.
I usually use only use Chartreuse with tee. One bartender 20 years ago made me a tee and pured some chartreuse in it and called it "Nuotio tee" . Nuotio in my familyname meaning bonfire and tee= tea. You should try it is very nice warm drink. Here in Finland we sometimes have outside bars with tables made of ice etc. warm drinks like that are so nice then. EDIT: I use green Chartreuse with my tea.
Just had them both. First, the glug-glug-glug sound of the yellow chartreuse being poured was... surprisingly amusing. Didn't get it with the green. Why?!?! Now, for me the Final Ward was much better because I find YC and Benny too similar. They ganged up to overpower the citrus. But the maraschino in the Final Ward was contrasting enough to give a more complex drink... for me. Now for a Last Word... Cheers!
Thanks, Greg! Love hearing your breakdown of the two drinks. The Monte Cassino is definitely richer, but I love them both. I wonder why the green chartreuse didn't do the satisfying "glug, glug, glug" sound 😂 Appreciate you trying both cocktails, and thanks for the feedback! Cheers!
Hi Anders - love your vids (even if they cost me a fortune in booze!) I'm wondering about the lemon juice bottle and pourer - pretty simple to find I expect, but if you have a recommendation I'd love to kick a few centimes your way.
Hey Anders, coming back to when you were talking about how this drink was served and how you forgot mention to chill your glassware, can you perhaps talk about the different between having a drink served "up" versus "straight up"? I've also heard people order a drink "neat" and "on the rocks", but I find these different terms for how drinks are supposed to be served a bit confusing sometimes.
Oh man, I think I may like this one more than the Last Word. I look forward to trying it with actual Green Chartreuse, although I do like the alternative recommended by my local boozemonger.
Totally agree that whiskey twists of the Last Word are superior (preference not withstanding), rye especially gives such a good base for the chartreuse!
@@AndersErickson Haha stop it Anders you'll make me blush! Congrats on getting a shout out from Truffles on the Rocks by the way! Hope you get a mad sub boost from it!
Nice drink combo! Benedictine is one of my favorite liqueurs, partly because it pairs so well with rye. I like the flavor of Maraschino liqueur too, but I always cut the amount in half or else it dominates the cocktail. Curious if anyone else has a similar experience with Maraschino?
I feel like you still wanna say WORD sometimes in this video. Your mind is saying WARD but your lips are struggling it almost becomes WOARD. Haha! 😉 Another great video Anders! 🥃
Hi Anders, really entertaining video! Although the Rittenhouse Rye is the go to choice for most bartenders, I think that the Knob Creek Rye has a much more interesting rye profile and takes my cocktails to the next level. Would love to see you make a Rye based cocktail with the Knob Creek :)
I wish Chartreuse said on the bottle, yellow and green. When I have them side by side I can tell them apart, when I have one bottle I'm like is that yellow or green because the yellow looks greenish to me.
Long story, short version. Family weddings, open bar, no idea what to order, not being a cocktalian. Want to discover ONE cocktail I know I will like. MIss and miss and miss. Apparently, what a bartender offers to a female noob is SUGAR. COVID hits, with quarantines. Becomes a quest. Try things. Acquire bottles. Discover Anders, Carla, Leandro, Steve. Acquire more bottles. At one cocktail a week, the experimental pace is slow. Watch this video. Try the Monte Cassino. Quest fulfilled. I have found MY cocktail. Wipe away a single tear. Thank you Anders. Really. Thank you.
>instead of green chartreuse *Intrigue builds* >It's yellow chartreuse *dies and catches on fire* There really is no proper substitute, eh? Hope our liqour stores carry yellow someday! Until then, I'll enjoy that Final Ward. Thanks!
One thing I have come to notice in your videos is that when you are about to talk, the volume to the background music gets lower so it doesn't drown you out when you're speaking. Thank you for that. There is another guy on TH-cam that I can't stand to watch anymore because his fancy music is way too loud in all his videos.
Love your videos. I've learned a lot. You're fun, personable, and obviously enjoy what you're doing. Plus, you're super handsome. Not to be inappropriate... :)
Definitely worth a try! I decided to shake these two just to tone down the sharp lemon notes in the cocktails - but it could be fun to compare the shaken and stirred versions of each. Thanks for the comment, Jonathan!

Pete's Word, from Death and Co. Laphroaig 10 instead of gin.
I'm with Luke here. Drop Laphroaig for an ardbeg and you get a whole load more body in the drink. Absolute killer for me!
I quite like Greg from How to Drink’s Mezcal variation:
3/4 oz Mezcal
3/4 oz Maraschino
3/8 oz Green Chartreuse
3/8 oz Ancho Reyes
3/4 oz lime juice
I also love a Monte Cassini with a couple dashes of Angostura
I have to say, the Friday-at-noon-video-post strategy is on point.
haha, thanks for saying that! I hope it's working 😂
It’s definitely working. I can’t tell you how many Friday afternoon Binny’s runs I’ve gone on as a result. Gonna try the Monte Cassino tonight, thankfully already have all the bottles 👍
@@dominicgerman5908 well done! You even have the yellow chartreuse! 🙌
@@AndersErickson full 750ml bottles of each chartreuse 🤤

I binged your channel over the holiday weekend and I can't thank you enough for bringing the Monte Cassino into my life. Sweet lord is it a tasty drink. More yellow chartreuse recipes, please!
LOVE this. Your channel is my new fav cocktail channel. The Final Ward is my favorite shaken cocktail. Thanks for the great cocktail content.
Amazing cocktails and a very informative episode Anders! Cheers!
Thank you, Kevin! Only thing better than one tasty drink is a second 🥃 🥃
I didn't have any Green Chartreuse so I used Benedictine as a substitute in the Final Ward. I really enjoyed it. I think it made the cocktail better.
Those looks so good. I love your sense of humour and the nice vibe of the videos. Today I really enjoyed the graph with the glasses explaining the "evolution" and the specifics of each drink. Great video. I assume the only thing left to do is to try those two side by side and check what fits better my palate. Cheers
The "glasses" bit was my favorite part too! So glad you enjoyed. Cheers, my friend!
Love the comparison image at 2:28. Thanks!!
This Monte Cassino is my favourite cocktail that I never had before…….thx Anders and Az !!
I just tried one of monte casino!
great!
the final ward is one of my all time favorites, but this „new“ twist on the final word is absolutly marvelous!
the honey, the licorice, the sweet `n’ sour ratio… brilliant!
Two great cocktails! Thanks for sharing your skills! So good!
Just catching up on your channel (which I love). I riffed on this recipe (because I was out of Benedictine) and used Chambord…wow!!!
So glad you did this one !!!!👏🏽👏🏽
Very nice footage and cocktails! Thank you!
I just found both yellow and green chartreuse, and I’m excited to try these out!
Great riffs on the Last Word! Looking forward to trying these out. Cheers Anders!
The Last Word is so so good. I can't wait try both of these. Love the side by side videos.
Thanks, Carl! I think you'll like both of these very much - curious which you'll prefer!

Those are great looking with just a little bit of color variation. The Final Ward sounds amazing but I think the Monte Casino would be my choice
They are different for sure. Hope you give it a try!
OH very nice, I haven't had the Monte Cassino! Gonna give it a try! Thanks!
Please do! It's so good. Cheers!

I just tried a Monte Cassino today, it's very different and good.
i would love it if you did the ward 8. the final ward definitely reminded me of it because of the similiar names.
Absolutely! The Ward 8 has a special place in my heart - I'll definitely be doing that one at some point. Thanks for the comment!
These two are pretty adorable!
Love when they're both on screen!
I love the nick and Nora glasses because I love “the thin man”. I hope you’ve watched the movies.
Az your makeup is really good. Great look for you.

@@AndersErickson Yes! A retroactive save. Well done.
They both win 🏆 love it. I am for Benedictine for sure, but I love this liqueur.

I’m so glad you liked it! Cheers & happy Saturday!!
Love seeing people sign off on drinks in the comments! Looking forward to trying these
Oh man, I think I may like this one more than the Last Word. I look forward to trying it with actual Green Chartreuse, although I do like the alternative recommended by my local boozemonger.

Excellent! Hope you enjoy them both - Cheers!
I'm definitely sold on these!
Love these!!! RYE-t on!
😂 😂
Amen brother. Templates are the best!
I agree!
I want to try substituting whiskey for Anejo tequila & lime instead of lemon🤤
I feel like you still wanna say WORD sometimes in this video. Your mind is saying WARD but your lips are struggling it almost becomes WOARD. Haha! 😉 Another great video Anders! 🥃
Thanks! And you're totally right, haha! I really had to make a conscious effort not to say WORD which then ended up in WAAARD 😂
Hi Anders, really entertaining video! Although the Rittenhouse Rye is the go to choice for most bartenders, I think that the Knob Creek Rye has a much more interesting rye profile and takes my cocktails to the next level. Would love to see you make a Rye based cocktail with the Knob Creek :)
I like Canadian Lott 40 rye, and Knob Creeks is by go to Bourbon.
Where do you get your glasses?

I had to sub in straight wheat whiskey as somehow I'm out of Rye, but dang the monte casino is good.
both look delicious
Cheers! It was fun comparison - I'll happily drink either one!
And now, replace the Rye in the Monte Cassino with Gin and voila, a Shanghai Gin. Another delicious Last Word variation...
>instead of green chartreuse
*Intrigue builds*
>It's yellow chartreuse
*dies and catches on fire*
There really is no proper substitute, eh? Hope our liqour stores carry yellow someday! Until then, I'll enjoy that Final Ward. Thanks!

Never has a Monte Cassino, but it sounds right up my alley.
The Monte Cassino might be one of my personal favorites. Really enjoy the Benedictine!

I kept on saying corpse survivor #2 for a long time, nobody, including bartenders, corrected me. Later I found out from a book, it's reviver.
Bud....Now I am confused...
Is final word not goes with Gin??
It's the Last Word that is with gin, but the Final Ward is with whiskey. Both delicious though!
Ok. Got it. Thanks Anders,and by the way, video is great! Thanks for sharing.
Are you planning on redoing this episode, since chartreuse no longer exist?
I am surprised Monte Cassino in 1944 did not get a mention. The monastery was completely destroyed by Allied bombing.
Here’s a tequila riff: Repasado, Lemon, Yellow Chartreuse, Italicus
I’m out of Luxardo. How about subbing Cherry Heering?
Shaken? Surely stirred would be better.
Definitely worth a try! I decided to shake these two just to tone down the sharp lemon notes in the cocktails - but it could be fun to compare the shaken and stirred versions of each. Thanks for the comment, Jonathan!
Chartreuse based cocktails need to come with lists Chartreuse alternatives these days...😢
You can always drop a cherry! Look: they are both great drinks, but they are no Lucky Stone. Your editor is also quite ah-mah-zing.
She is amazing! Almost as good as the lucky stone. Kidding of course! 😂
@@AndersErickson I guess if I had enough Lucky Stones in succession that might make you look as good as you do in her videos?😋
Rounder lol
More Az. She’s purty.
Love how the clock is always on 5 O’Clock and never moves
Happy hour
Saves on batteries 😂
Helps continuity, too! And it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!
One of my favorite pieces in their place!
Hrmmm…. Could you make this switch with Tequila and lime? A “Mexican Word”
Monte Cassino is better because of the Benedictine.
Unpopular opinion: neither one wins because whiskey.
I like that this recipe contains Rittenhouse Rye. Kyle and the makers of this whiskey are national heroes.
😂
