Discover a unique twist on the classic Last Word, crafted by award-winning bartender Joaquín Simó during his time at New York City's renowned speakeasy, Death & Co.
This vibrant cocktail captures the essence of a wild night out, blending smoky mezcal with the bright allure of Yellow Chartreuse, all complemented by zesty lime juice. It’s a drink that boldly declares, “I’m here to have fun, but I also appreciate the finer things in life.”
As you sip, you'll experience a delightful complexity that unfolds with each taste. This equal-parts cocktail is surprisingly simple to make yet offers an intriguing flavor journey. Even if you’re not typically a fan of Aperol or mezcal, we encourage you to give it a shake. The harmonious balance of smoky, herbal, and citrusy notes will have your taste buds dancing like nobody’s watching!
