  • strong rye overwhelms or try a stronger amaro — ★★★★
  • I'd love to try this with Nonino instead of Montenegro.
  • Spicy, reminds me of Pumpernickel, but Laird's added more rawness than I expected.

  • Unique. Good use of Galliano. I used ginger liqueur so may be better with the syrup.

Enjoyable as written, and I like the idea of a Fernet Mule. Made it a second time with a splash of Amaro Montenegro and 2 dashes of Peychaud's which provided much more complexity.

I tried Montenegro.  I thought the Campari would overpower it, but it surprisingly came through.

I'm not sure why the ratings are so low on this one. It's not outstanding but definitely a good stirred drink option for anyone looking for something a little more adventurous.
