MintySpatula7299The Last Word is a Prohibition-era classic cocktail renowned for its perfectly balanced, herbaceous, and refreshing flavor. Equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice come together to create a vibrant, pale green sipper that’s simultaneously sweet, tart, and slightly floral. This cocktail is ideal for impressing guests or elevating your evening wind-down, especially on a balmy California night. The Last Word’s history and perfectly symmetrical proportions make it a timeless favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. Serve it cold and savor the harmony of botanicals and citrus in every sip.
