The Last Word is a modern classic and bartenders favorite with roots in prohibition, what's not to love? Today I make a Last Word and spin out a variation on it on the fly.
The Last Word is a cocktail with countless variations, some of which you may not even know is a Last Word variation, for example the Paper Plane. It was invented at the Detroit Athletic Club during prohibition and was quite popular for a time. It faded into obscurity as the 20th century ground on though. In 2005 Murray Stenson, bartender at the Zig Zig Club in Seattle, was thumbing through a copy of Ted Saucier's Bottoms Up! (A cocktail guide from 1951) looking for something new / old to put on the menu. He shook up a Last Word and was hooked. The Drink traveled east to NYC in the hands of Audrey Saunders who put it on the menu at her Pegu Club in NYC (Great Bar, go there) and the drink was soon everywhere.
The coolest thing about the Last Word though is how well it works as a formula. You can easily swap out a couple of ingredients and wind up with a near perfect drink that's completely different from the original. Maybe dial in the ratios a touch and you're there. So in this one I made a Last Word and then spun out a variation on the fly, and tweaked that variation slightly. Don't have name for that drink yet, got any ideas?
Last Word
1 oz. or 30 ml. Lime Juice
1 oz. or 30 ml. Maraschino
1 oz. or 30 ml. Chartreuse
1 oz. or 30 ml. London Dry Gin
HTD Word #1
1 oz. or 30 ml. Lime Juice
1 oz. or 30 ml. Maraschino
1 oz. or 30 ml. Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur
1 oz. or 30 ml. Mezcal
HTD Word #2
1 oz. or 30 ml. Lime Juice
1 oz. or 30 ml. Maraschino
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Chartreuse
1 oz. or 30 ml. Mezcal

The book references “here” because it was released as a publicity promotion for the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. I think that is what Ted means by “here” being NYC. I picked up a 1962 original full color version of this book last week at a library book sale for $2.00(!) and it is truly awesome in its full color version! Highly recommend. Edit: “here” could also refer to Detroit as it’s not clear if the notes came from Ted or from the cocktail authors.

Remember -- If it smells like a dog, and tastes like a dog, it's probably a Slum Dog"_ *Shanghai Gut Punch:* _"Three measures 180-proof alcohol, a pinch of lotus pollen, and a drop of red food dye No. 40.

Include all the ways you can make your own syrups, different types of glasses used for different cocktails, outline all the different utensils you use or need to make a great cocktail, maybe even add a list of what every home bar should have as far as different spirits and other ingredients. I hope you have an amazing day, and I will wait for the book. All the best kid...

The bar I went to called it "La Ultima Palabra" which is just the Spanish translation

Have a friend who lives for these and sometimes adds really strong Ginger ale or seltzer. Great drink either way. Nice video 👌

Appreciate this show. May have to borrow your H2D 2 from this. I'll call it The Last Oaxacan Standing.

The most notorious mezcal last word riff i can think of is the naked and famous (equal parts mezcal, yellow chartreuse, aperol, and lime). Your version seems delicious as well, will have to give it a go.

I made the HDT Last Word #2 with just a little less lime juice and it was fantastic.

Actually had a Last of the Oaxacans, last night (a mezcal version, that ONLY replaces the gin with mezcal). Sooooo good.

I really began to enjoy this drink more when I made it to the original spec, resulting in a 1 oz drink that can be dispatched in a sip or two. At a 2.5-4 oz range, I always get too fatigued halfway through to finish it, and this is one that really needs to be COLD. I think its intent and purpose is right there in the name... its the final drink, refreshing but complex, to close out a night on.

I created a mezcal version I called "Smokey Words" at my bar. Also did a Heated Words variation with green chili vodka instead of gin, a crushed Thai chili, a jalapeno wheel, and a few dashes of Thai chili bitters. Both were quite popular.

We do something similar to your variation at my work, called a First Word. We just do the chartreuse, no ancho though. Super popular!!

@@davidcassidy602 I hydrate between them and eat good clean meals too, haha! But yes, I meant it as a hyperbolic turn of phrase to quantify my love of a properly mixed classic gin cocktail. I don't actually pound gin and champagne cocktails all day of course.
