Cocktail History

Nemiroff Last Man Standing is an original author’s cocktail with a rich, sweet, and sour taste and herbal notes. This unique drink by Nemiroff was inspired by the world-famous gin-based cocktail called the ‘Last Word.’ It was created in a private club in Detroit, USA, in the early twentieth century. Since then, the cocktail has been gaining and losing popularity.

The original drink had 4 main ingredients: gin, Chartreuse and Maraschino liqueurs, and lemon juice. This combination creates a rich flavor balanced with pronounced hints of citrus.

Our signature Last Man Standing alcohol cocktail is based on Nemiroff branded products, just like our other vodka cocktails. This time, Nemiroff De Luxe Reserve vodka was used as the basis, which provides sufficient strength to the drink without overpowering the herbal, sour notes.

Food Pairing

The Last Man Standing cocktail – That’s my spirit, based on premium vodka Nemiroff De Luxe Reserve, goes well with dishes with pronounced flavors. Salty or spicy snacks will be best suited.

This drink has herbal notes, so it will also go well with Asian dishes with spice. It creates a flavor balance of sweet and sour, making the cocktail a good complement to duck or beef dishes.
