Author Notes: A riff on the classic pre-Prohibition era cocktail, The Last Word, this drink seamlessly blends the citrusy flavors of the Cointreau (which replaces the traditional maraschino liqueur) and lime juice with the herbal notes from the gin and green Chartreuse. Served in a sleek coupe glass, this cocktail makes an easy weeknight sipper or fun special-occasion drink. —Food52
