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.

Tried this again with Kina L'Aero d 'Or instead of Cocchi. It was a bit tooo bitter.

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.

In Savannah city, Georgia or in a bar called Savannah? If the city, which bar? The Savoy Society perhaps? Was the cocktail called Famous Last Word?
