The Last Word是禁酒令时期的经典等比例鸡尾酒,以金酒、绿色黑苦艾酒、玛拉斯加樱桃力娇酒和新鲜青柠汁各取等量摇匀后滤入鸡尾酒杯中。四种风味迥异的原料以均等比例实现奇妙平衡,是调酒历史上最迷人的方程式之一,近年来随着精调鸡尾酒复兴运动重焕光彩。

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.
