The "Last Word" is a popular cocktail known for its refreshing and balanced flavor. It typically consists of equal parts of gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice. This drink is shaken with ice and strained into a chilled glass, often garnished with a lime twist. Originating in the early 20th century, the "Last Word" gained fame in the 1920s and was served at the Detroit Athletic Club. It experienced a resurgence in the 2000s as craft cocktails became more popular, appealing to those who enjoy a unique and herbal taste profile.
