Thyme in a Bottle

[muckefuck]

• 1 oz Bombay Sapphire
• .75 oz Farigoule
• .75 oz lemon juice
• .5 oz maraschino liqueur

This just about killed the last of the bottle of Farigoule that was one of my first forays into the world of mysterious European herbal concoctions. Previously I'd only ever drunk it straight as an apéritif or digestif. As the description forwarded to me by lhn readily concedes this is essentially a Last Word with Farigoule bumping the Chartreuse and sightly fiddled proportions. Personally, I'd fiddle them back, since the initial pour was too tart for my taste. We remixed it with a dash each of Farigoule and Maraschino and ended up with something more balanced. Next time I'll simply reduce the lemon juice and it should have the same effect. Or maybe I'll increase everything else, since the proportions given yield an oddly scanty martini glass. And I'd change the name to something less stupid--perhaps Darrièra Paraula?
