History

Americano bianco replaces maraschino liqueur, bringing quinine notes to this Last Word rendition.

The formulation of this cocktail is attributed to J. E. Clapham. Clapham states, "I can't really claim to have invented it-the original Famous Last Word, a great drink from Red Light in Manchester, is exactly the same, but made with a Irish whiskey as the spirit base instead of gin, a cross between the Last Word and the Tipperary."
