ABOUT
This drink, invented in 2007 by Phil Ward at Death & Co., is one of the most well known riffs on the Last Word. Here, gin and lime are swapped out for rye and lemon. I forget how much I love the spice of rye, which works wonders with the herbal Chartreuse. Maraschino adds some sweetness and boldness that the lemon balances out. Cheers y’all!
