The Last Word
First created in the Prohibition era, the Last Word's simple recipe of equal parts Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Green Chartreuse, Junipero Gin and fresh lime juice belies the subtlety of this sweet-tart-herbal creation. Two men are credited with this cocktail's fame - its creator, vaudevillian Fred Fogarty, who allegedly first combined the four ingredients at the Detroit Athletic Club in 1921, and Seattle bartender Murray Stetson, who revived the Last Word at the Zig Zag Café in the early 2000s.
Midnight Rum Runner
This take on the classic Rum Runner gets an upgrade with the use of Luxardo Cherry syrup in place of grenadine. Mixing the liquors together ahead of time makes this tropical tasting cocktail easy to transport to your next party.
Rum Old-Fashioned
Aged rum has a lot of flavor complexity, making it a worthy substitute for whiskey in one of the most classic cocktail recipes; the Old Fashioned. Look for a rum with 12 plus years of aging to ensure a mature flavor that won't disappoint.
