Origen
The Last Word is a classic cocktail that originated at the Detroit Athletic Club in the early 20th century. It was first listed in the club's 1916 menu and was made popular by vaudeville performer Frank Fogarty, who was known as "The Dublin Minstrel." The cocktail is made from equal parts of gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice
Popularidad
The Last Word fell into obscurity after Prohibition but was rediscovered in 2004 by bartender Murray Stenson while he was working at the Zig Zag Café in Seattle. Stenson came across the recipe in Ted Saucier's cocktail book "Bottoms Up" from 1951 and began serving it at his bar, sparking a resurgence in its popularity among craft cocktail enthusiasts

The revival of the Last Word is emblematic of the larger trend of resurrecting forgotten cocktails from the Prohibition era, reflecting a broader appreciation for the history and craft of mixology. The cocktail's comeback has encouraged bartenders around the world to delve into historical recipes, leading to a renewed interest in both the ingredients (like green Chartreuse) and the techniques of the past. The Last Word’s resurgence has also highlighted the importance of bartender influence in the modern cocktail scene, demonstrating how a single rediscovery can impact global cocktail trends
