Smoky Aperol Delight

This cocktail takes a twist on the classic Last Word recipe by swapping out gin for mezcal and Chartreuse for Aperol. The result is a smoky, slightly bitter, and refreshingly citrusy drink with a touch of sweetness from the maraschino liqueur. It's a perfect balance of flavors that will surprise and delight your taste buds with every sip.
