LAST WORD

 

This 1920’s cocktail, by Frank Fogarty of Detroit, is the perfect example of a cocktail that is more than the sum of its parts.

While amazingly simple to make, as it is 4 ingredients all in equal proportions, it is also amazingly complex in taste. The spirits mesh together in such a way that it is almost impossible to figure out where on flavor begins and another ends.

This is a drink that everyone should enjoy whilst pondering the sinking sun as it extinguishes itself into a calm, purple ocean.
