Time for a pretty fancy cocktail, the Rubicon, from bar Canon in Seattle. This is a Last Word with extra everything, complete with open flames and fresh herbs.
This drink is very heavy on gin, so choose this wisely. Go with your favorite. For us this was the perfect opportunity to break our bottle of Conker Spirit’s gin. It’s a delicious product from Dorset in the UK, and it was great in this herbal cocktail.
As this recipe involves an open flame a warning should be issued. Be very careful, and have something ready in case you need to put out the flame quickly.
We enjoyed this refreshing cocktail a lot. It’s herbal and lemony with a quite noticeable punch from the gin.
