With its quirky name, this fresh and easy to mix cocktail, The Last Dance, will soon become one of your favourites when entertaining, or simply looking for an easy and delicious libation to get the weekend started.
A riff on an old prohibition era classic, The Last Word, where quick and easy to mix cocktails were the name of the game, The Last Dance includes fresh mint, a botanical rich gin and a plenty dashes of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. We love this cocktail!
