  • Experiment with cranking the bourbon up.
  • A little on the sweet side. I'm not sure i'd do this one again. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it.

Used grapefruit bitters instead of the Boston and a lemon peel instead of lime. It's great - kind of reminds me of a limoncello or a 20th Century - but you really really really need that peel to cut through the sweetness and maraschino.

Fernet overpowers the drink, might be best to reduce it in half.

In my opinion, Fernet Branca is overhyped and often (mis)used in cocktails where the menthol overpowers the drink. That's great if you love Fernet Branca - but not the point of making a cocktail, in my opinion. Since the instructions for this drink simply say "Fernet" (as does the original, although its accompanying picture shows a bottle of Fernet Branca) I decided that one could choose whatever type of Fernet one liked, and I used Fernet Vallet, which bumped this up from three stars to a weak four stars for me. I also used Bonal as in the original.
