betsy larey what on earth are you talking about?

There are versions of the Last Word since its revival in the early 2000’s. I had this at the Kimpton Brice Hotel in Savannah Georgia. The restaurant is Pacci, it’s in the hotel. The cocktail menu is very creative and the food is excellent.

I much prefer the version I had in Savannah. Use tequila instead of gin, and maraschino liquor instead of Americano Bianco. A completely different taste and I loved it. This one sounds like a gin and tonic with green chartreuse.

You saved this drink! I am a Chartreuse fanatic but I have always hated the last word. I have tried it a number of times as it is considered THE Chartreuse cocktail. This one really works, the extra gin and I think the water makes all the difference. Now I get it!

Try Tequila Repasado instead of gin. I thought it was outstanding

I had dinner in Savannah at the Kimpton. The bartender made his version of this with Respasado tequila. I much preferred his version as I am not a gin connoisseur.
