Method

How to make The Last Laugh

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear flute, chill the sparkling wine thoroughly, and cut exactly one very short narrow lime zest twist.

  2. 02

    Measure the gin, green herbal liqueur, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice into a shaker; keep the sparkling wine separate.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.

  4. 04

    Fine-strain the chilled still mixture into the flute so no citrus pulp or small ice fragments enter the glass.

  5. 05

    Top gently with 30 ml dry sparkling wine and give one careful lift with a bar spoon; never shake the carbonated ingredient.

  6. 06

    Express the compact lime twist, retain it neatly at the rim, and serve while the bubbles remain lively.
