That Cocktail Life

Last Word

This prohibition-era classic is delightfully citrusy, herbaceous, and complex thanks to the Green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice. 

It was first served at the Detroit Athletic Club in 1915, disappeared into the cocktail void in the 40s/50s, and re-emerged at Seattle’s Zig Zag Café in the 80s. Since then, it’s been celebrated for the amazing cocktail that it is.
