Final Ward

Description

Final Ward should feel intentional from the first sip, not like a random mixture poured over ice. The sour structure gives the drink its discipline: spirit for weight, citrus for energy and sweetness for shape. Rye whiskey, green chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lemon juice should feel bright and deliberate, with the tart edge making the flavour pop rather than vanish.

The best version tastes alive, not merely acidic; it should leave a clean finish and make the next sip feel inviting.
