The Last Word was created at the Detroit Athletic Club during Prohibition and then forgotten for decades until bartender Murray Stenson rediscovered it at the Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle in 2004. Its equal-parts formula of gin, Green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and lime creates a perfectly balanced cocktail that is at once herbal, sweet, and citrusy. It has since inspired dozens of variations.
