Kadia commented on 12/23/2015:

Thought the Fernet might be overpowering, but it's not. A tad sweet for my taste; will reduce syrup to 1/2 next time.

Thank you Steve the Bartender for the awesome professional image of this cocktail.

I am NOT a fan of Fernet but as the other comment says the Fernet is well tamed. Simple and unique - this is a new top fave for me!
