Is there a cocktail called The Last Word?
Cocktail Colin says:
Yes, there is indeed a cocktail called The Last Word! This drink is a prohibition-era classic that has made a strong comeback in modern mixology. It offers a balanced blend of tart lime juice, the herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse, the nuttiness of Maraschino cherry liqueur, and the crispness of dry gin, all in equal parts. This harmonious mix provides a vibrant and zesty experience, traditionally served in a cocktail glass. The Last Word is acclaimed for its captivating green hue and its ability to deliver a refreshing yet complex taste. With a top rating of 4.9/5, it's a must-try for anyone interested in exploring historically rich and sophisticated cocktails.
There's also another variant named Elder's Last Word, which puts a twist on the original by replacing lime juice with lemon juice, Green Chartreuse with Yellow Chartreuse, and using elderflower liqueur instead of the classic Luxardo. If you're looking for something with similar flair but slightly different flavors, this could be an excellent choice as well, rated at 4.5/5. Enjoy your cocktail journey!
