I'm a fan of the Last Word - no matter how tipsy I become, I can always remember the recipe:
Equal parts dry gin, green chartreuse, maraschino and fresh lime juice - shake over ice and strain. Easy-peasy.
ETA: Though it belatedly occurs to me that people just starting their cocktail explorations aren't likely to have maraschino and chartreuse laying around. My bad!
