Hi Applejack, Did you try the recipe with the two different fernets ? Do you think spliting is important ?

Thanks

applejack commented on 3/27/2021:

Pangolindo,

Yes, I made it with the two fernets as I have both.  The Letherbee (along with the Tempus Fugit Angelico) is one of my favorite non-Branca fernets.  I'd say the Letherbee is a bit more herbaceous and better balances the menthol notes as compared to Branca IMHO.  I'd guess the drink is pretty similar if just using Branca (or swapping in another fernet for the split base).
