Pete’s Word is another of many equal-parts cocktails. This was created by Phil Ward around 2008 while he was working at Death & Co. in NYC. Based on the Last Word, here he swaps in smoky peated scotch, nutty Luxardo and lime. Not the first thing you think would otherwise work with smoky scotch, here – it just works.
