This drink is good- St. Germain and Fernet Branca work well together (the Celery Sour is another great example). I like this better with a little citrus though; .5 oz grapefruit juice is a good addition.

tyard commented on 5/03/2012:

Note that the original recipe also calls for 3 dashes of orange bitters.

It's not bad, but the Amaro Nardini definitely takes over. I like the Nardini, but I was hoping for more balance. I used Chemist Barrel Rested Gin and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. Perhaps a Sipsmith Gin would have faired better. Or a Boodles.

I floated a tablespoon of Lismore 10 onto the drink, and it definitely improved.

  • Not bad, but kind of tastes like the sum of its parts.
  • Use 1/2 oz Honey syrup 2:1

Curated to fix the Sherry entry - all Amontillado Sherries are dry, and the brand here is Lustau.

Thanks,

  • Dry but balanced w/ minimal cloying sweetness from the maraschino. The cassis makes this drink absolutely beautiful in the glass (5★ for looks).

  • Too sweet - try 1 oz elderflower.
  • Very easy to drink. Not all that surprising — it tastes like ginger beer + elderflower, but it's a pleasant combo. A bit sweet. The ice helps.

Bailey

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 t Simple syrup
1 spg Mint
Instructions

The mint should be put in the shaker first. It should be torn up by hand as it steeps better. The gin should be added then and allowed to stand a minute or two. Then add the grapefruit juice and then the lime juice. Stir vigorously with ice and do not allow to dilute too much, but serve very cold, with a sprig of mint in each glass.
