In Search of the Ultimate Last Word (link here)

The unanimous winner was Richard Boccato’s Last Word from Dutch Kills in Queens, New York.

Upon the drink’s arrival, Wolfson observed, “Even just visually, this looks like what a Last Word should look like.” The recipe calls for a heavy three-quarters of an ounce of lime juice, and three-quarters of an ounce each of Maraska maraschino syrup (equal parts Maraska and simple syrup), green Chartreuse and Monkey 47 gin, garnished with a sunken cherry and a spritz of lime oil over the surface.

Lizzie Munro, Punch’s art director, found it to be “sweet in the right way, tart in the right way,” almost like a limesicle.

By splitting the Maraska with simple syrup, Boccato avoided the drying quality that the liqueur can have, and the lime twist gave it a welcome aromatic pop.

“If I go to a bar and I order a Last Word and I get that,” said Wolfson, “I’m happy.” 

    • heavy 3/4 ounce lime juice
    • 3/4 ounce Maraska maraschino syrup (equal parts Maraska liqueur and simple syrup)
    • 3/4 ounce green Chartreuse
    • 3/4 ounce Monkey 47 Schwarzwald dry gin
