History

The Last Word, a vintage cocktail classic, was first documented in Ted Saucier's Bottoms Up in 1951 where its creation was attributed to the Detroit Athletic Club. In 2008, the folk at New York's PDT bar tinkered with the recipe to create this drink named after their own hood.

Essentially a Last Word with tequila instead of gin.

It's quite tart (and I wonder if the original PDT specs will improve that) but as orthodox Last Word riffs go, it's pretty solid

More citrusy than the Last Word. The lemon tends to push the other components to one side.

Somewhat like a fusion of a Margarita sans rim, a Sidecar and a Last Word; quite good!

Interesting with the tequila. Went very well in place of margarita with Mexican food.
