  • Delicious, but not for the timid. Sharp ginger notes balance the Fernet's menthol and the lemon's acid tones down the bitter and balances the sweetness.

That is some sublime, gingery minty goodness. Disclaimer: I am hopelessly addicted to ginger and mint. Thank you for sharing!

Yes. Lord Hobo came up with a great intro to Fernet. It's fabulous (if you like Fernet, which I do).

Also tried with equal parts Fernet, ginger liquor, and gin, with great success.

Added 2 dashes chocolate bitters. 👍
