In searching for a more sophisticated, all natural drink for St. Patrick's Day, I came across this Prohibition Era cocktail: The Last Word. While the ingredients are simple, the taste is anything but. It's herbaceous and strikes a balance between sweet, sour, and aromatic. It's simply and absolutely delicious! So this year, go ahead and skip the green food coloring, and shimmy on over to your bar cart to try an old favorite.
