  • Used Bittermen's Xocalatl Mole bitters; added an extra layer of spice.
  • Fernet strong but not out of whack. This has a real tobacco-stained, leathery feel. Good.
  • While I feel like the Fernet might be a little high in the mix on the finish, it's still a nice drink. — ★★★
  • Cut chocolate bitters down to one.

Good catch Fred! I'm going to revert the drink to that recipe and update the link. Thanks,  Zachary

The sweetness of the Falernum does a lot to smooth over the bitterness of the Fernet. Not as aggressive as it reads.


Tasty. Wild Turkey 101, chocolate macadamia bitters, Falernum syrup (instead of Velvet). Campari and Fernet still there but have a nice fuzzy chocolate mint blanket overtop .


I dialed back the Fernet a bit for my audience. Very tasty! Also very boozy, so I made 1.5 drinks for 2 people. Love the scaling function on this site 👍🏼

The only online reference to this drink I found (which I added to the reference section) mentions an absinthe rinse. 


I expected more, but seemingly only got an odd Vodka Martini. Added a few drops of Absinthe to simulate that absinthe rinse mentioned in the reference and that really helped the drink a lot. Next time I'll also try increasing Maraschino Liq. to the full 1/4oz called for there.
