  • REALLY like it w/ an oz of apple brandy - changed the whole cocktail.
  • 1/7/16: This was pretty tasty (made with lemon peel, didn't have grapefruit), but really the dominant flavor was the Fernet, as expected.
  • Amaro on amaro on amaro. Save this one for after dinner. 3.5★
  • Nice! The Fernet really balances the sweet of the Cynar and accentuates the sweetness of the Campari (it's in there if you look past the bitter). The salt is particularly noticeable in the finish. It's also a lovely color.
  • More accessible than the ingredient list would suggest. But you still have to like Fernet.

Decent, but the flavors didn't really blend together when made as described. Adding about 30ml of apple brandy brought it together pretty nicely though.
