Fernet Branca does not work well as a substitute for the Letherbee, but another less mint-y fernet might.

  • Yummy. Made, however, sans Letherbee, twice. Thought Branca definitely too much, but with last bit of Luxardo Fernet was very nice. Strong n bitter. Edit: remade with Letherbee, even better. 5 stars.

This is true.  I attempted a few years back with Fernet Branca as that was all I had available. I had the same reaction that I used to have with cough syrup as a child:  two seconds after the swallow, I sneezed it right out.   Now that I have Fernet Vallet in my bar to use, I tried again.  NO sneeze!  


Used Jelinek fernet. Like a nutty negroni. Very good.
