About

I’ve been feeling inspired by all the amazing posts on @wehavethelastword this month that I just had to try my take at a riff of The Last Word cocktail. I really wouldn’t call this a “variation” but rather just a cocktail inspired by the interesting equal-parts ingredient ratio/blueprints for the drink. One of my all-time favorite cocktails is one with Chambord (a black raspberry liqueur) and wine, so I thought I’d apply that here, combined with a suuuuper herbaceous gin to stay with the Last Word theme.
