The Last Word features complex flavours; a touch sour, sweet, and pungent all at once. The cocktail has a bit of a bite to it, yet is a bit sweet still from the maraschino liqueur. When combined with the other ingredients, rather than cherry, the mellowed-down liqueur has more of a light, floral sweetness on the palate.
Classics stick around for a reason. And when you think about classic cocktails, the Last Word cocktail is one that may come to mind. This tasty concoction has been around since the pre-prohibition era and is still quite popular today. Mix one up at home and see why this refreshing cocktail has survived the test of time.
Two of my very favourite cocktails, the Paper Plane ＆ Naked & Famous, were actually inspired by the Last Word. They are both so delicious. I recommend giving them a try.
起源
The Last Word's origin began at the Detroit Athletic Club (a private social club) in 1916, predating the Prohibition era by just a few years. At the time, it was the most expensive drink listed on the club's menu, at 35¢. It was later introduced and popularized in New York by Frank Fogarty, a famous performer of the time.
Like many things in history, this cocktail all but disappeared in the calamity that was World War II. However, the cocktail was rediscovered in the early 2000's and has since then spread to bars in major cities worldwide.
材料
This cocktail is made up of four equal parts:

それぞれの分量については下のレシピカードをご確認ください。
代用
ジン - You can use whatever gin your prefer in this cocktail, however, the gin you choose will affect the resulting flavour. If you are not using Beefeater London Dry Gin, I recommend that you use another one with a citrus base rather than juniper in this cocktail.

Strain into a chilled coupe glass to serve.
This drink is served 'straight up' (with no ice).
