Some light curating including clarifying the rich simple. I imagine that will make the layering even more foolproof. Thanks @noksagt.

Made with normal-strength Plymouth. Very good bitter-forward stirred drink.

The name is perfect for the cocktail. I bitter beauty.

I've also substituted the gin for high proof american whiskey as well as regular 80 proof plymouth.

Question: Is the fernet to be used as a float here or stirred in?

History

Inspired by eGullet user elix, who called for a Last Word variant by this name employing Bénédictine. It ended up being more of a Sidecar/Widow's Kiss variant. If you'd like to name an equal parts brandy/Bénédictine/Maraschino/lemon drink, it's yours for the taking.

Nice herbal combo that worked well with Spanish brandy

Like but don't love, with Torres 10. Next time I'd at least up the brandy, maybe dial back the liqueurs a bit

Dark and murky drink that is really enjoyable. Maraschino nose, sour start, herbal body and minty fresh finish, a really nice drink all in all.
Would have to do some A/B testing to determine if this or the similar Industry Sour wins.

couldn't believe one could actually drink a concoction with this much sweet stuff in it. It's an interesting combination of flavas, but not sure if it could be a regular. However, I find that Fernet Branca-based cocktails are sort of growing on me...an odd flavor to start with, but quite soothing after a while.

This is a nice drink. Over the weekend, I made a Fernetaboutit, Death is not the End, Corpse Defiler 666, Bitter Apricot, and a You Only Live Twice. I was looking for ways to use Bonal Gentiane Quina, at first. This drink is a good digestif, I will surely make it again.

Cappelletti for Aperol, 1/3 oz white grapefruit, 3/4 oz lime, added 1/4 oz PF Dry Curaçao (good as-spec'd but wanted a bit less bitterness due to the Cappelletti sub.) Delicious! — ★★★★
A 5x equal parts cocktail with 3/4oz each? Made as written but I still think this has extra lime. Maybe split the lime and grapefruit or use a very sweet grapefruit.

Similar cocktails

No similar cocktails found.

Is this really calling for 3/4 oz of both lime and grapefruit juice? The other reference I've found this online has only the grapefruit which seems more in like with the Espirit d'Escalier.

This is an excellent drink. Perfectly balenced. In fact I must say that while I was skeptical when I saw the 3/4 lime juice, it really balenced out the drink. Leave that out at your own peril. A must try!
