Made with Finger Lakes Distilling cassis. Light and really good. Tastes like a funky sweet vermouth.

  • 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.

Curated this slightly - added source citation. This is a minor variation on a modern "anti-Roses" Gimlet.

Thanks,

flickerdart commented on 3/23/2021:

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.


sevyryelsdorn commented on 4/16/2018:

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.
