I’m not a bit fan of maraschino liqueur, so I replaced it with 5ml of cherry herring, 5ml of Kirschwasser (cherry eau de vie) and 5 ml of Mara chino liqueur. This is of course a much more complicated version but it turned out great with a little less of the artificial maraschino flavour.
I added a dash of Campari - made a bit less sweet. Can recommend it.
I didn't like it too much. I just looked it up in my version of Schumann's Bar. The recipe is slightly different than mentioned above:
2 cl. Vermouth rosso
1 cl. Vermouth dry
2 cl. Calvados
Dash Brandy
So the vermouth dry is half of the other two main ingredients. Don't think that it would help the recipe though.

I think for a stronger, slightly more modern version I recommend going for 5 cl Whiskey keeping the other ingredients at 7.5 ml each. A nice twist is also to add just a dash of a peated scotch.
