Comment:

A riff on a last word with a splash of cider, which depending on your cider will produce a boozy cocktail that’s on the dry side.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2017 by Katherine Boushel at Atwater Cocktail Club in Montréal, Canada. The name (meaning First Word) and indeed the ingredients of this riff on the classic Last Word, reflect Montréal’s French and English influences.
