I’m so excited to share my new favorite cocktail — La Palabra! A fresh twist on a classic! Inspired by the iconic “Last Word” cocktail (a personal favorite), this version has a unique flair with tequila and a smoky, spicy kick.
Typically, a Last Word is made with gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and chartreuse — I have recipe for this in my book, The Comfortable Kitchen! But here we’ve reimagined it with a bold, Mexican-inspired twist.
Enter: La Palabra—Spanish for “The Word.” With reposado tequila taking the place of gin and Ancho Reyes (a poblano chili liqueur) subbing for chartreuse, this drink brings layers of flavor: a hint of heat, a touch of smokiness, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Ingredients:
- Reposado Tequila
- Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- Ancho Reyes
- Simple Syrup
- Angostura bitters
- Luxardo Maraschino cherries
Step-by-Step:
Step One: Add ingredients to shaker
Combine the tequila, lime juice, Ancho Reyes, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker.
Step Two: Shake
Add ice and shake vigorously until the shaker feels very cold—at least 1 minute.
Step Three: Strain
Strain the cocktail into 2 coupe or martini glasses.
Step four: Add cherry
Drop a maraschino cherry into each glass and let it sink to the bottom.
Step Five: Serve and enjoy!
Raise your glass, say cheers, and savor the smoky, spicy goodness!
Recipe FAQs:
Do I have to use reposado tequila?
You do not have to, but I prefer it here for the slightly smoky flavor it adds. Feel free to sub with blanco!
What’s Ancho Reyes?
Ancho Reyes is a a poblano chili liqueur that this spice-loving gal, loves!
Could I serve this over ice instead?
Sure! While typically served “up” in a coupe or martini glass, you can always serve over ice in a short glass if preferred.
