The Last Word is a well-balanced cocktail made with gin, maraschino liqueur, green chartreuse, and fresh lime juice in equal proportions. Its four ingredients work together to create a cocktail that is both tart and sweet, with a rich undercurrent of complex herbal bitterness and ripe cherry flavour. It is best described as a drinkable key lime pie, but tastier. This drink is easy to remember, even easier to make, and completely distinctive in its own right.
