The Last Word
Cheers! In 1916, it was the most expensive on the menu at the Detroit Athletic Club, clocking in at a whopping 35 cents. The Last Word Cocktail recipe is very simple, equal parts gin, green chartreuse, maraschino cherry liqueur, and lime juice it has a wealth of herbal qualities going for it. I mixed the drink using either Hendricks Gin or my other favorite gin The Botanist Gin both have a complex herbal and botanical qualities to them. Coupled with 55% ABV (110 proof) Green Chartreuse which is a distillation of a secret blend of 130 herbs and spices, the flavors of citrus, fresh parsley, tarragon, anise and the smell of freshly mown grass come to mind. The Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liqueur and lime juice round it out with a bright cherry and citrus finish. The Last Call cocktail is a truly unique and complex cocktail, this one needs to be in your rotation of cocktail recipes. If you don’t make it at home, then you need to order it next time you’re out and about.
