Method
How to make The Last Laugh
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Pre-chill one clear flute, chill the sparkling wine thoroughly, and cut exactly one very short narrow lime zest twist.
- 02
Measure the gin, green herbal liqueur, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice into a shaker; keep the sparkling wine separate.
- 03
Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
- 04
Fine-strain the chilled still mixture into the flute so no citrus pulp or small ice fragments enter the glass.
- 05
Top gently with 30 ml dry sparkling wine and give one careful lift with a bar spoon; never shake the carbonated ingredient.
- 06
Express the compact lime twist, retain it neatly at the rim, and serve while the bubbles remain lively.
