FIRST WORD

FINAL WORD

An herbal, citrus-forward cocktail. It is a tasty spin on the classic Last Word.

The recipe is from Difford’s Guide, who attributes the recipe to a Reddit user named Scarecrow1779. Though not equal parts, the recipe follows the original Last Word closely, swapping out Chartreuse for dry vermouth and a touch of Aperol. Cheers y’all!
