Last Word is one of those well-known classic cocktails, that inspired countess number of riffs and variations. Just by exploring Last Word riffs one might fill a few book volumes. Electric Circus is not just one more riff, but a quite unique addition to the cocktail world, really worth exploring.

Being an equal parts drink, it is difficult to discern a real base spirit although gin would be the most suitable contender to start. Gin brings familiar juniper, coriander, citrus notes along with other complex botanical flavours. Midori sweetens the cocktail with taste of cantaloupe and honeydew melons, candied syrup texture and subtly hidden citrus. Genepy expands the complexity with alpine botanicals, turning this drink into a true world fusion. Fresh lemon juice brightens everything up with a touch of sharp tartness while at the same time balancing out the sweetness. Finally, a little dash of bitters seasons the cocktail with delicate spice notes bringing it all together.

Electric Circus is a tasty and surprising cocktail, full of twist and turns taking you one a true journey. Great discovery for those who always look for something new.
