  • Finish all Suze
  • About the best way to use up that bison grass vodka that I've found!
  • Really interesting. Bitter, complex, and savory in a way that is wholly original
  • Very tart/sweet/refreshing. Like an interesting herbal gin rickey.
  • Used 1.75 oz Zubrowka grass flavored vodka. A complex, sweet-tart cocktail. Tastes like a "5" drink!

Different Ginger?
Allspice dram in place of FB OF bitters?

  • Unrepentantly Fernet-y.

iamhalfred commented on 2/01/2014:

Good, but Fernet-y. Must be in the mood for Fernet. Made with Michter's and smoked ice cube. A good intro to Fernet Branca as the flavor profile is still the most prominent, but more subdued. If some one said "Never had it, would like to try it." I'd make them this.

The Forgery

3⁄4 oz Gran Classico
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula (Coffee infused)
3⁄4 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig 10
3⁄4 oz Amaro dell'Erborista
Instructions

Stir and strain into a coupe. Orange twist, discard.

History

Developed to make use of my 2nd favorite amaro (after Cynar), Amaro dell’Erborista. Developed in September 2012.
