Tom Macy’s Last Word

Tom Macy, Clover Club | Brooklyn, NY

Taking second place in our recent tasting, Tom Macy’s Last Word is a bigger drink than the original—each component amped up by a quarter-ounce. His gin of choice was Tanqueray 10. But the twist that perhaps nudged his mix to the front of the pack was the Jack-Rose-like trick of a splitting the citrus element between lime and lemon juice.
