Go heavy on the basil and light on the tonic. Even better with a splash of aperol on top. Very refreshing!

Pangolindo,

Amargo-Vallet is a Mexican angostura bark bitter liqueur flavored with additional herbs/spices (cassia, clove, etc.) and macerated in cherries.  I haven't tried it, but for this drink, I'd suggest maybe trying 1 oz Angostura bitters and a quarter ounce each of Cherry Heering and allspice dram (the drier Bitter Truth is probably a better option than the much sweeter St. Elizabeth).

Dollar Dollar Bills

2 oz Añejo rum
3⁄4 oz Amargo-Vallet
1⁄4 oz Coconut syrup
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an expressed orange swath.

Notes

Ingredient brands were not specified in the app, and I couldn't find another reference to this cocktail online.

Drinking this now with Pikesville Rye (Heaven Hill, 6 yrs, low rye, 110 proof). I'm happy with this - minty/medicinal but lovely texture and balance and it's nice how the CAF + low rye rye tugs against the Fernet. And it's small enough to be a perfect digestive. Thanks,  Zachary

Cut the whiskey to 3/4 each because I wanted something a little less strong, and this really works well!
