Made with Martini & Rossi. A very likeable drink! I prefer a light touch with the Fernet bottle to keep it from taking over the drink. EDIT: Dry rye gin plays against the other ingredients well in this.

trying to figure out what the "Hanky Panky Nohow" would be. Anyway, I enjoy this drink with a little more fernet.

I actually prefer this with a more "traditional" sweet vermouth--like Dolin or Martini & Rossi; Carpano has a bit to much vanilla for this drink IMO

I like 2 gin, 1 vermouth, 1/4 fernet in this.

We do:

1.5 oz Beefeater

.75 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

.5 oz chilled Fernet-Branca, as float

Stir, strain into a Nick & Nora, float. No other garnish.

The Cocchi rosso vermouth and the Branca work beautifully together in this and other applications.

If you like a Martinez, then you'll probably like this one.
