History

A riff on a Last Word, boozy, bittersweet and aromatic.

This drink was created in 2017 by Tom Sherring at Piano Kensington in London, United Kingdom. The name 'Loose Talk' plays on the idea of deviating from original ingredients ('Loose') and gossip or conversation ('Talk'). It alludes to the risky nature of gossip during WW2, the pop band Gossip, and their association with alternative identity and gender politics.
