History:
Adapted from a recipe, with the help and input from Tim Ihde (via comments on our Last Word history and variations page) who discovered this cocktail in 2016 at the Brick Farm Tavern in Hopewell, Hopewell, New Jersey, USA, which he says is "an excellent cocktail bar and farm-to-table restaurant."
Review:
The Last Word meets the Aviation somewhere over the French-Italian border.
