Shake or stir and strain into a cocktail glass. No garnish.
Notes
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!
