Therapeutic Agent

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
3⁄4 oz Whiskey
1 oz Bianco Vermouth
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca (fat)
Instructions

Stir with ice. Serve up with a brandied cherry. Smile.

Notes

Make it a plump 1/4 oz of Fernet. A half ounce is too much and a quarter ounce leaves it lacking.

  • Smooth and interesting. Used Elijah Craig for whisky. Made my branca a real fat one :)
  • Used dry vermouth, which was bitter, but still good. Bitter, but enjoyable and slow to drink, seemed similar to a Toronto.

Moderated from 1 to 1/4 oz Fernet as per the notes. I'm assuming that 1 oz was a typo.

Smooth and interesting. Used Elijah Craig for whisky and Cocci Americano as blanc vermouth.Made my branca real plump ;)
