History

The distinctive notes of mastiha and Chartreuse shine in this Greek variation on the classic Last Word.

This drink was created by Christos Chouseas at 42 Bar in Athens, Greece, a venue where the themes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the writings of Douglas Adams greatly influence the naming of many cocktails. Within The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, the number 42 represents the "answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything," while the character 'Marvin' is depicted as a paranoid, depressive android.
