The Last Word는 금주법 시대의 클래식으로, 동량의 진, 그린 샤르트뢰즈, 마라스키노 리큐어, 라임 주스로 만들어져 특이한 재료 목록이 시사하는 것보다 훨씬 조화로운 칵테일을 만들어냅니다. 진의 보태니컬, 샤르트뢰즈의 허브 복잡성, 마라스키노의 체리-아몬드 달콤함, 신선한 라임의 조합이 놀라운 깊이의 음료를 만듭니다. 크래프트 칵테일 르네상스의 위대한 재발견 클래식 중 하나로 여겨집니다.

History & Origins

The Last Word was created at the Detroit Athletic Club around 1915, during Prohibition, and attributed to a vaudeville performer named Frank Fogarty. The drink nearly vanished entirely until Seattle bartender Murray Stenson revived it at the Zig Zag Café in the early 2000s, sparking a global rediscovery by craft bartenders. Its equal-parts format became a template for a subsequent generation of 'Chartreuse cocktails' and inspired numerous variations.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense herbal and green Chartreuse complexity — pine, mint, and floral — mingling with gin's juniper, maraschino's cherry, and fresh lime citrus. Palate: Perfectly balanced and complex, with each ingredient contributing equally; Chartreuse provides herbal depth, maraschino adds sweetness and cherry nuance, gin supplies botanical structure, and lime provides acidity that ties everything together. Finish: Long, herbal, and dry with lingering Chartreuse and a clean citrus fade.

Pro Tip

Use freshly squeezed lime juice — it is non-negotiable for achieving the balance on which this cocktail depends — and measure all four ingredients precisely.
