Last Word
I have such a love for prohibition-era cocktails, especially the infamous Last Word. This cocktail was invented by Frank Fogarty, a few years prior to the start of prohibition, approximately in 1915. There are many creative variations of the classic cocktail today, including the Paper Plane, or the Naked & Famous.
Ingredients:
¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz green chartreuse
¾ oz luxardo maraschino
¾ oz gin
garnish: brandied cherry
Directions:
In a cocktail shaker, combine lime juice, green chartreuse, luxardo maraschino, and gin. Add ice and shake vigorously until chilled. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a single brandied cherry.
