03History
A New York modern classic from the mid-2000s Milk & Honey orbit — the proof that the Last Word frame survives any base spirit.
Equal parts four ingredients: rye + chartreuse + maraschino + lemon. Two modifiers, no vermouth — the Last Word grammar intact.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
