History
This herbal sweet and sour Last Word earns its name with a splash of bubbly wine for extra cheer.
Adapted from a recipe by Abigail Gullo at Compère Lapin restaurant in New Orleans, USA. This drink is a variation on the classic Last Word, and its name supposedly comes from the effervescence of the sparkling wine "tickling your nose."
