Dear Fernet
Long stir, about a minute, strain in coupe
Sweet yes ! But my palate loved the taste it had.
I pretty much like how fernet and suze interact.
If someone knows a way to keep the flavor and lower sweetness, please, let me know !
I uped bourbon slowly to 1. 1/3, but fernet and suze vanished....
Maybe dry sherry instead of vermouth ?

It's sweet for sure, but with a bracing bitterness from the fernet so it doesn't taste cloying at all. Can definitely taste each part of the mix and agree with other comments that the fernet + suze is lovely, and I tend to think maybe more so with the Letherbee fernet I used that has a bit more saffron. Very nice.
