History

This cocktail first gained attention in Detroit’s roaring 1910s before traveling to New York’s vibrant bar scene. Though it vanished for a time, a later revival brought back its crisp and striking character. Known for its beautifully balanced and unexpected flavors, the Last Word offers a taste of classic cocktail creativity. It’s perfect for those who appreciate a cocktail with a mysterious past and lively spirit.
