Last Confession

Story

The original Last Confession leaned more heavily on Centerbe and lime. Once the liqueur showed itself to be mint-forward with a light Fernet-like edge, the drink was revised around reposado tequila and lemon. Oak and earthy agave now lead, Bénédictine adds honeyed spice, and the smaller Centerbe measure leaves a cooling, gently bitter finish instead of dominating the glass.

Method

1. Chill a coupe glass.
2. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
3. Shake for 10–12 seconds.
4. Double-strain into the chilled glass.
5. Express a lemon peel over the surface and use it as the garnish.

Notes

• This is the revised recipe; it supersedes the original 1 oz reposado, 0.5 oz Centerbe, 0.25 oz Bénédictine, and lime build.
• If the Centerbe still dominates, reduce it to a barspoon (0.125 oz).
• Centerbe is not yet a canonical spirit taxonomy value, so chartreuse is used as the closest herbal-liqueur category.
