This cocktail was created to celebrate the sale of a friend's debut novel, hence the name "Book Deal."
From other users
- A little bit of Fernet Branca causes a large amount of Campari and Cynar to taste like... Fernet Branca.
- very dark strong and bittery with many things I love. I enjoyed it sitting outside with HB after a rain one evening in November.
- Like falling into bitter sweet oblivion
- Deep, spicy, lots going on.

Found this looking for campari/bourbon combos, and the title caught my eye because my first book (deal) is due in early 2020. Delicious. Spicy, sweet, lots of nuance.
