Other than a great album from Pink Floyd, the Division Bell is one fantastic drink!
The Division Bell is a cocktail developed by New York City Bartender Phil Ward for the opening menu of Mayahuel an East Village, Mezcal focused Cocktail bar opened in 2009. Phil ward is a very prolific Bartender in New York City and has worked in some of the city’s most influential bars such as Death & Company, Flatiron Lounge and Pegu Club. It was at Death & Co. that he had an epiphany about preferring to use Agave spirits. After two years at Death& Co. he found himself a business partner and went into the bar business as an owner, specializing in Mexican Spirits.
The drink in question was inspired by the Last Word and is one of my favorite variations. Don’t let the restructured specs fool you, it does indeed build off the same mechanics as the Last Word. Alrighty guys, hope you enjoy the drink! Cheers!

Legit one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. I made it with some variations…
1. I don’t have any mezcal so I used a 6:1 (ish) ratio of anejo tequila to Ardbeg
2. Blackberry liqueur instead of maraschino
