Thanks,

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.

Just made a glass of this.  Delicious.  Despite a large amount of non-alcoholic ingredients, it never feels diluted or washed out, and the rum shines through very nicely.

bkemp1984 commented on 7/30/2021:

I got into cocktails by randomly buying the book Absinthe Cocktails, and this is in it and one of the first cocktails I ever made. One drink makes you buy some bottles, then you buy more until you have a whole damn cabinet full. Made this again with a really assertive Spanish vermouth and less elderflower, now that I'm wise enough to know 1 oz is crazy. It's good no matter how you stir it though
