The "Last Word" Cocktail: A Classic Gin Drink
The "Last Word" cocktail is a classic Prohibition-era gin drink made with (among other things) Luxardo maraschino cherry liqueur...it's complex, boozy, & pungent, yet still refreshing. Perfect for those transitional seasons or when you want something a bit different.
