Love the variation, but I hate the name. I’d rather order a "Mezcal Last Word" and have the bartender say, "You mean a 'Closing Argument'?" Then I’d reply, "I hate that name. How can a variation of a two-syllable name turn into such a syllabic nightmare? 'Closing Argument' is pompous fluff, and I will wage a well-balanced war on that name."
The bartender says "I don't get paid enough for this, sir—I didn't name the drink." I’d say "Well, you get paid enough to correct me in front of my wife!"
