In the Last Word, which glass is used, what ice is added, and which shaking method is specified?

• A. Rocks, Cubed, Build
• B. Chilled martini/coupe, None, Shake & fine strain
• C. Highball, None, Roll
• D. Champagne flute, None, Build

Answer: (B)

The Last Word is a shaken, up cocktail that should be presented in a chilled stemmed glass, typically a martini or coupe. It’s not served with ice in the final drink, so no ice goes into the glass. You mix the ingredients with ice in the shaker to chill and dilute, then strain the mixture through a fine strainer into the chilled glass. This “Shake & fine strain” method ensures the drink is smooth and clear, without ice shards, matching the crisp, balanced profile of the Last Word.
