Love this cocktail, one of my favourites! Always appreciate you supporting local businesses like Dillon's. They're a great distillery pumping out a lot of great spirits and bitters. If you liked this one you should try the Final Ward, swap out the gin for rye and the lime for lemon. Keep 'em coming Glen!
Love these types of recipes that are very well balanced and seeing the change of the flavour profile by changing the core spirit. Tried many last words with local gins (Willibald, Topshelf, Last Straw, Black’s, Dillon’s just to name a few) the cocktail is always delicious 😋 but also slightly different. Great video !!!
LOVE THE HISTORY IN THIS SERIES! Green Chartreuse 'takes me back a good few decades!' One of my favorite books about gourmet living was 'THE AUBERGE OF THE FLOWERING HEARTH' by Roy Andres deGroot. His book grew out of a magazine assignment to visit the Valley of the Grand Chartreuse and to report on the monastery and the historic spirit that supported its mission. Your video makes me think this holiday season is the time for me to revisit Green Chartreuse. There is also a yellow version.
Love these videos Glen. What if during the shots where you're just making the cocktail, could you talk about some other related points? i.e. why you use the double straining method, interesting facts about the cocktail / gin, etc.
I found this video recently and thought it sounded like something I'd enjoy. You say, if you haven't had Chartreuse, this cocktail alone is worth getting a bottle of Chartreuse. So that's what I did. Had some trouble though since it was out of stock at the supplier (I live in Sweden), but today I finally got my hands one a bottle! I know you said "it doesn't matter which gin" you use, but how much would you say the gin changes the drink? I recently ordered a bottle of the botanist gin, which I used to try this. I also regularly have, and very much enjoy, the Langley's old tom gin you've used in a couple of drinks. I didn't have freshly squosen lime, I just had the bottled one. Can't say I very much enjoyed it. I think it got "too sour/tart" with the bottled lime juice. Tried a second one with just a couple of dashes though and that was great! I think I'll try this again with the botanist and Langley's gin and freshly squosen lime. If not I'm gonna follow your "make it your own" strategy and just have it with a couple of dashes of lime juice. Also, do you have any other tips for drinks including Chartreuse? I'm gonna grab some vermouth (red and white) and orange bitter and try the Amber Dream and Chartreuse Cocktail.
Those cocktails sound yummy. I've heard that only three or four people at any given time know the recipe for Chartreuse, and they are monks. But it might be apocrypha. I do know there is green and yellow Chartreuse. The yellow being younger and more expensive. I've never had Chartreuse I wonder how it tastes compared to Absinthe. You should feature the Hemingway. A cocktail made with Champagne and Absinthe. And make the same cocktail using Chartreuse.
So hard to find chartreuse now! I recently found green chartreuse and it was $79.99. Had to buy. Then found a bottle of yellow chartreuse and it was $89.99. Our collection is getting expensive!
I have a feeling these videos are done at 11 am whilst your wife is at work, so you don't have to share the alcoholic goodness hahahaha. I'm not much of a cocktail guy Glen, but your're slowly persuading me to give these ones a try!
Interesting - the Chartreuse is $35 (Canadian), and the Luxardo is $30 (Canadian) here at the LCBO... I guess Government run liquor stores don't always get the prices wrong.
If I had an unlimited budget, or if these cocktail videos got enough views to pay for a bunch of different gins that I may not like... I would. But these videos get so few views that I don’t cover my costs for time, let alone ingredients.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking it's a game reference. Destiny 2 has a gun in it called 'the last word.' Its a reward you get from completing a puzzle like quest.
Thanks for watching everyone! The recipe is in the ^^^Description Box^^^.
There is an amazing version called the Final Ward. Swaps gin for rye whiskey and lime for lemon. So it's a Last Word but Lemon and Rye Whiskey.
Squozen, gets me every time.
I prefer Squeezen, or Squozed.
My favorite gin is Hendricks I will try it out. Awesome demo
Thanks for the cocktail videos. Please do more! :)

I sure enjoy being one of the friends in Glen & Friends, and even more so when I'm drinking one of these cocktails. ; )

wow, love this drink, been trying all sorts of stuff with it's ingredients: here's one I like, Coke and a splash of Green Chartreuse..
I hope you’re getting more views on your cocktail videos these days. Clearly it’s time for me to “binge-watch” them. Hope your playlist is up-to-date!
Many, many, many variations to this cocktail! One of my favorites is the “Fernetaboutit” where Fernet is substituted for the gin.

"GIN pool....." Lol!!

Glen, your erudition amazes me!😎👍👍🥇🏅🙏 thank you very much!

looks absolutely delicious
I recommend everyone try the Final Ward variant. Swap out lime and gin for lemon and Rye Whiskey. I recommend Rittenhouse. It's my favorite cocktail.
personally i like to use Old Raj blue label for the gin

Made one just now. The lime juice is overpowering the other elements. Tastes like a gimlet. I’ll need to experiment
The Last Word from Destiny 2 really is a good handcannon
You like mezcal. You should try a mezcal last word. Just use mezcal instead of gin, same amount.
my favourite!

wow. $35 - Luxardo. $65 - Chartreuse @ ABC store near me.

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Yeah Green Chartreuse is pricey in the States.
I had a bottle once. I remember it being like Christmas on steroids.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking just checked BCL and the Chartreuse is $41 here, not too far off Ontario's price
Green what? 😂
I'm joking : Great video as always !
Thank you 😊
Would you mind posting videos of these same cocktails using the other types of gin besides the Dillons? I would like to see your reactions
If I had an unlimited budget, or if these cocktail videos got enough views to pay for a bunch of different gins that I may not like... I would. But these videos get so few views that I don’t cover my costs for time, let alone ingredients.
Love this cocktail, but it's too sweet for me the book way, a little extra gin balances out the sweet tooth for me.
Gin pool. Hee-hee, like what you did their.
You can swap the gin out for mezcal for another amazing cocktail
We had one in Mexico a couple weeks ago when we were down researching Mezcal. "Ultima Palabra" It was really good!
Why does this guy sound so much like Alan tutorial
Uhh... how do you get the gun?
I'm not sure I completely understand your question.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking it's a game reference. Destiny 2 has a gun in it called 'the last word.' Its a reward you get from completing a puzzle like quest.
I'm a little out of touch with games today... but back in the day, I rocked the ATARI 2600 and all the coin games at the arcade. 😂
These recipes make me wish I enjoyed alcohol. So appealing!
Any one else watching that can't legally drink yet?
