last shot
One more try
Last shot is a final attempt at something, often when previous efforts have failed or time is running out: This audition is my last shot at making it as an actor.
In sports, it's the final play of a game, carrying particular weight when the outcome hangs in the balance.
In drinking, it's the final serving of liquor before stopping or leaving: One last shot and then I'm heading home.
