1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Citadelle
1 1⁄2 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
Optional garnish: an orange twist.

Notes

I had expected the flavor to be a bit more bitter, but for a first experiment I found it quite smooth, as did a few others who tried a taste.

History

I was in my favorite restaurant in Chino, CA and wanted "something bitter" using Fernet Branca. The bartender had no ideas, so I decided a riff on the Negroni would be interesting.

Like a lot of cocktails I'm trying, especially ones where people say the fernet dominates, Fernet Vallet fills in very nicely without overpowering.....just not nearly as much mint, which some might dislike.
