The Last Word

The Last Word cocktail

A pre-Prohibition classic originally served at the Detroit Athletic Club, this cocktail is a perfect balance of equal parts gin, herbal Green Chartreuse, sweet Maraschino liqueur, and tart lime juice. The result is a sophisticated, pale green drink with a sharp yet sweet flavor profile.
