How to Make a LAST WORD | Gin & Chartreuse Classic Cocktail

In this video I show you how to make the Last Word cocktail! This is a classic cocktail with chartreuse, gin, maraschino, and lime juice. The last word is an herbal, fresh, and tart cocktail that is perfect for the warmer months. To top it off, it's an easy recipe to remember because it's 4 ingredients, all equal parts. This is great for the home bartender (and pros!), and a wonderful classic that you can add to your repertoire. The Last Word disappeared into obscurity around the 1950's and was rediscovered in 2004. A truly special cocktail that made it back from the brink of death, now for all of us to enjoy. Cheers!
