The Last Word is an equal-parts drink of gin, green
Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and lime juice that dates back to 1915. After many years out of memory and time, it
was unearthed in the early 2000s in the Seattle bar scene. Like many great cocktails, it inspired a lot
of variants, including the Paper Plane (bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, lemon
juice) and the Naked & Famous (mezcal, Aperol, yellow Chartreuse, lime
juice). The Division Bell is similar to
the latter, but the ingredient substitution and rebalancing make it
distinct. The result is super
interesting. The mezcal flavor is
definitely there, but the other ingredients add complexity and variation. It’s got a balance of sweet, savory, and tart
that make it memorable. Cheers!
