Cocktail Colin says:
The Ultima Palabra is a symphony of bold flavors where smoky mezcal dances with the herbal kick of Green Chartreuse, creating an enigmatic base that is refreshingly complex. The sweet and tart interplay between pineapple juice, lime juice, and maraschino cherry adds a vibrant layer, rounding out this drink into a smooth, yet striking cocktail experience, perfectly suited for those who crave a drink with depth and distinction.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Ultima Palabra cocktail?
The Ultima Palabra is a variation of the classic cocktail 'Last Word'. While the 'Last Word' originated in the early 20th century at the Detroit Athletic Club, the Ultima Palabra, which translates to 'The Last Word' in Spanish, adapts the recipe by incorporating Mezcal, giving it a unique Mexican twist.
What makes the Ultima Palabra cocktail unique compared to other cocktails?
The Ultima Palabra stands out due to its use of Mezcal, which introduces a smoky flavor that is balanced with the sweetness and tanginess from the pineapple and lime juice, respectively. The addition of Green Chartreuse and Maraschino cherry liqueur adds complexity and herbal undertones, making it an exceptional and flavorful cocktail.
Can the Ultima Palabra cocktail be made without alcohol for a non-alcoholic version?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Ultima Palabra can be made by substituting the alcoholic ingredients with non-alcoholic spirits, such as a non-alcoholic mezcal alternative for the smokey flavor, and herbal or fruit syrups in place of the Green Chartreuse and Maraschino cherry liqueur. Adjustments to taste may be necessary to replicate the unique flavors of the original cocktail.
How should the Ultima Palabra be served to best enjoy its flavors?
The Ultima Palabra is best served cold in a cocktail glass. It is not shaken or stirred to preserve the clarity and distinct layers of flavor. Chilling the glass beforehand can also enhance the drinking experience, allowing the flavors to remain robust and refreshing.
Is the Ultima Palabra suitable for all types of occasions?
Yes, the Ultima Palabra, with its complex yet balanced flavor profile, is versatile enough to be fitting for various occasions. Its elegance makes it suitable for more formal events, while its unique and refreshing taste can be enjoyed in a casual setting or as a celebratory drink.
