Dirty yellow-green color, taste is hard to describe beyond "sour". Gin botanicals covered up (using Tanqueray). If you like gin sours and want to taste something different, maybe make this drink with 2oz or 2 1/4oz of gin.

1 oz Añejo tequila, Alma
1⁄4 oz Fernet Vallet
1 bsp Agave syrup (1:1)

1 Orange peel (garnish)
Instructions

Stir all ingredients, strain into chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with expressed orange swath.

History

One of the first cocktails I made after getting a bottle of Fernet Vallet. It's incredibly inky black color infuses every drink with a rich dark hue, hence the name (and a shout out to Alex Proyas' underrated "Dark City" flick)

My bad on the typo, I may or may not have had a few when I entered this one.

This is coming from someone who is finishing off his last bottle of mezcal and not really going to buy it much in the future, but I plan to try 1 1/4 oz tequila and 3/4 oz mezcal. Still good and Fernet Vallet is great
