The Last Word


Listen Later

The Last Word is a pre-Prohibition cocktail first served at the Detroit

Athletic Club in the early 1900s. Check out the history of this classic
linked below.

The recipes I found seem to call for London dry gin, but I tried it with

Hayman's Old Tom and really liked it a lot. Try it both ways to see which
you prefer.

  • 3/4 ounce gin (London dry or Old Tom)
  • 3/4 ounce green chartreuse
  • 3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • Combine all the components in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and

    strain into a coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel, if you want to.
