Fernet and absinthe work well together and salt plays a role in tying it altogether. Interesting but not exactly my cup of tea.

  • Made the 1st time with Fees Bros bitters and a very strong salt solution. 2nd time will try scrappys and to back off on the salt
  • very good!
  • Used fennel bitters. The rye is a little odd in this, adding peanutty flavors to an herbaceous drink. Interesting.
  • Every bit as magical as the name implies.

That's what the source says too, so I've curated to correct. Thanks @yarm!

What a fascinating drink! There's a lot going on, but it all works and somehow I can still taste the celery (used my own home-made bitters). Highly recommended.

  • Tastes like a brunch drink to me (though not low ABV). I wonder if a touch of lemon juice would buttress the acidity a bit.

  • Used Gomme syrup instead of simple for no reason other than - as long as I'm grabbing Byrrh, Bokers, and Zirbenz SPL, why go as simple as simple?

sevyryelsdorn commented on 5/07/2023:

Did not taste balanced to me as written. Maybe my lime was particularly bitter, but it overwhelmed the drink in a not-pleasant, pith-tasting kind of way. I ended up amending with more Heering and a tiny amount of Simple to make it palatable to me.

Shawn C commented on 6/11/2023:

Excellent, but I slightly altered the recipe as I have learned that the equal parts drinks with lime or lemon are often too tart, particularly when they are at their coldest. I used 1/2+ ounce of lime as I thought that would be about right against the Cherry Heering. For me the Zucca is the right way to go here vs. Sfumato, as Zucca provides a gentler smokiness. The result was a savory mesquite BBQ flavor and nose. I was amazed by the transformation of this much Cherry Heering into a completely different essence. [Others wanting a drier or more assertive drink should try the called 3/4 oz of lime, and/or Sfumato.)
