  • Used Beefeaters Gin and Bullet Rye — ★★★★★
  • One of my favorites. I use whatever Rye I have on hand in lieu of anything particularly Canadian. It’s a very well balanced drink and its a great way to introduce someone to Suze. — ★★★★
  • Made with Beefeater, American rye, and Amer Sauvage. As expected, the gentian was strident at first but became more likable. Aperol pulls peanut butter out of the whiskey. Whiskey + gin worked better than I expected.

flickerdart commented on 7/31/2020:

Made with Forty Creek Barrel Select whisky, London Hill dry gin, and Contratto Bitter instead of the Aperol because that's all I had (it's too assertive, if you sub it then reduce the proportion). The first sip is definitely a powerful bitter punch but the sweetness of the Forty Creek shines through. I would never have believed that the drink contains no sweet liquors or vermouths!

That absinthe brand sounds great but I only had verte and blanche at home. Used Viex Carre and was pretty good.

Cocktailian commented on 4/08/2018:

Is the differentiation of this vs. just a normal "rum & tonic" the clarification of it being an añejo instead of just dark rum?

Craig E commented on 4/09/2018:

The muddled mint would be an even clearer differentiator. Rum and tonic but also mojito ancestry you could say.

  • I didn't have pear liqueur so played with this and did: 1.5 S+C, .5 Demerara 151, .5 lime, .5 homemade allspice dram, .25 orgeat, 2 dashes creole bitters, dash chinese 5 spice, flamed orange.
  • Needs some work on balance, and is very strong due to two overproof rums. Was trying to follow template for Jet Pilot and kept proportions exact, but could dial-back the rums and get a similar but more balanced result.

  • Made with 1/4 FB and 3/4 CdB per comments. Perhaps halfway between that and the original spec would be the sweet spot, but the promise of this feels limited.
  • Ok, but use 1/4 oz Fernet and 3/4 banana, otherwise fernet dominates and banana is lost.
  • Mostly tastes like Fernet.

The Basco

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Citadelle
1 1⁄2 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
Optional garnish: an orange twist.

Notes

I had expected the flavor to be a bit more bitter, but for a first experiment I found it quite smooth, as did a few others who tried a taste.

History

I was in my favorite restaurant in Chino, CA and wanted "something bitter" using Fernet Branca. The bartender had no ideas, so I decided a riff on the Negroni would be interesting.

Like a lot of cocktails I'm trying, especially ones where people say the fernet dominates, Fernet Vallet fills in very nicely without overpowering.....just not nearly as much mint, which some might dislike.

1 twst Orange peel (garnish)
