Classic With a Twist
Cilantro Last Word – A Classic Cocktail with a Modern Herbal Twist
Simple
About the Cilantro Last Word The Cilantro Last Word is a bold evolution of the Prohibition-era classic, offering a distinctly modern twist. Traditionally made with gin, this version swaps it for Empirical Cilantro, creating a uniquely herbaceous depth. Faccia Brutto Centerbe or Chartreuse adds grassy, alpine notes, while Gabriel Boudier Maraschino and fresh lemon juice bring brightness and tangy complexity, making this cocktail perfectly balanced.
