2011 Reprint of 1951 Illustrated First Edition. Full facsimile of
the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition
Software. For almost 4 decades, Saucier was the publicist for the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. His 1951 cocktail classic
book, Bottoms Up includes over 200 drinks, fully indexed, plus
twelve risqu [for the period] illustrations by twelve different
artists. A typical review of a cocktail follows the actual recipe:
THE LAST WORD: Damrak Gin / Green Chartreuse / Luxardo Maraschino /
Lime / Sugar"This cocktail was introduced around here about thirty
years ago by Frank Fogarty, who was very well known in vaudeville.
He was called the 'Dublin Minstrel, ' and was a very fine monologue
artist." So wrote Ted Saucier in 1951 when introducing this drink
in Bottoms Up. Saucier credits the drink to the Detroit Athletic
Club, and if the bartender's recollection is correct, that would
place the Last Word as a Prohibition-era cocktail. If that's the
case, then the Last Word is one of the finest cocktails to come out
of that bleak period in American history. Four ingredients, two of
them fairly exotic, working in equal parts to create perfect
harmony.
