The Last Word was created in the early 1920s at the Detroit Athletic Club. The cocktail was only popular for a few decades and was later published by Ted Saucier in his 1951 book, Bottom&#39;s Up.A Seattle bartender (Murray Stenson) revived the cocktail by placing it on his drinks menu (2003). It&#39;s popularity helped the drink find its way onto the menu at the Pegu Club (2005) which cemented it&#39;s resurgence.You can play around with the gin component too - sub in Irish Whiskey for a Dublin Minstrel or Mezcal for a Last of the Oaxacans but there are an endless number of riffs on The Last Word.
