  • Nice combination of flavors, a little on the sweet side. Maybe cut the vermouth and/or Benedictine next time

I like it, but a couple of points. This is a large drink - 4.25oz - well beyond my cocktail glasses. Is an Old Fashioned (or other) glass intended? And does 'no ice' mean 'not on the rocks' or 'room temperature'? Without dilution it might be closer to fitting in a glass, but a warm Manhattan doesn't seem right.

"Strain" suggests there's ice in the stir, I'd think.

  • Tastes and goods as it sounds like it will. Fruity and balanced.
  • Must try
  • Tropical-ish Last Word variation. Delicious and accessible.
  • A bit sweet but otherwise the balance works well, each ingredient having a presence in different parts of the sip. — ★★★★

3⁄4 oz Zucca
3⁄4 oz Cardamaro
3⁄4 oz Fernet, Letherbee

Notes

Fernet Branca does not work well as a substitute for the Letherbee, but another less mint-y fernet might.

  • Yummy. Made, however, sans Letherbee, twice. Thought Branca definitely too much, but with last bit of Luxardo Fernet was very nice. Strong n bitter. Edit: remade with Letherbee, even better. 5 stars.

This is true.  I attempted a few years back with Fernet Branca as that was all I had available. I had the same reaction that I used to have with cough syrup as a child:  two seconds after the swallow, I sneezed it right out.   Now that I have Fernet Vallet in my bar to use, I tried again.  NO sneeze!  

Used Jelinek fernet. Like a nutty negroni. Very good.
