Ingredients

1 oz Rye whiskey
0.5 oz Faccia Brutto Centerbe
0.25 oz Bénédictine
0.5 oz Maraschino liqueur
0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice

Story

The Final Blessing adapts the rye-based Final Ward structure to the pairing of Centerbe and Bénédictine. Rye brings spice, maraschino contributes a dry cherry finish, and lemon separates the layered herbal flavors.

Method

Chill a coupe glass.
Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
Shake until thoroughly chilled.
Strain into the chilled glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Sazerac Rye was the recommended bottle for this build.
This recipe predates the discovery that the Centerbe is especially mint-forward; consider starting at 0.25 oz if you prefer a less dominant herbal profile.
Centerbe is not yet a canonical spirit taxonomy value, so chartreuse is used as the closest herbal-liqueur category.
