Campo Viejo
Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube.
After I got home from Drink (Boston) where I made a guest an Oldfield (a link to that drink in the source reference below), I began thinking of that combination of rye, Fernet, Benedictine, and Angostura. I took it in the direction of the Last American Hero (another drink that I made that night) by splitting the base 3:1 with the minor part mezcal and adding chocolate bitters. For a name, I riffed on the Oldfield and dubbed it the Campo Viejo (translation of "old field" in Spanish).
