The americano bianco make it go to the gut very very easy, like it was converted in just lemonade. But beware the second sip is a little bitter. So it start very young and in the Strange Case of the Last Word 2, goes from Benjamin to Dean almost instantly. Unlike many other variations this is very adult way of transformit, without the maraschino candy, I fell it improves. Now I almost made all LW variations except for one and some doubts if thery are or not.

Balance your ingredients and this can really hit the sweet sour bitter herbal dancefloor. I kept the lime at about 15mL and id balanced beautifully.

Like other discerning drinkers who commented here, I miss the maraschino sweetness. But that’s a matter of individual preference. This version is quite good, but drier than the original.

Dang, what a mouthful of flavor! Sip and savor. Simply sublime! ☆☆☆☆☆♡

Used four pillars navy gin which contains Australian native finger limes… lime explosion! Almost too much. Very nice indeed, but missing my Luxardo 😉. A slightly less intense cocktail than the usual Last Word.
- rebalanced the above with a splash of regular dry gin. Better.

Really very good. Vermouth allows the main performers to shine, whereas the usual maraschino fights for the limelight. Might try splitting these next time.

i used caperitif instead of americano. it's pleasant but i prefer the sweetness the maraschino brings to the classic. still, a worth alternative.

I much prefer the version I had in Savannah. Use tequila instead of gin, and maraschino liquor instead of Americano Bianco. A completely different taste and I loved it. This one sounds like a gin and tonic with green chartreuse.
