Local Cocktail Makes Good

(Free Press photo)

More booze in the news.  This time from an establishment where drinking while working never went out of fashion.

In today’s Free Press Bill McGraw writes about The Last Word, a cocktail that was invented in the 1920s at the Detroit Athletic Club and has been revived by west coast cocktail aficionados.

If you are a member of the D.A.C. you must have one the next time you’re in The Tap Room.  If not, feel smug/sad and then have your favorite bartender make you one someplace else.
