Enjoyed the original. Made a riff on it using Mr coffee instead of Fernet and 3 drops of xmolte bitters.

As someone who really enjoys sipping on neat (room temperature) whiskey, this drink worked really well for me. I can see this becoming a go-to late evening sipper by the fireplace or next to the fire pit as the evenings start to get cooler. Also excited to see how you’ll be deploying the Fernet in future newsletters! I’m a certified “Fernet guy” but I haven’t found too many cocktail recipes where I feel like Fernet is utilized effectively.

How's this do chilled? Heading up to the mountains this weekend and was just wondering what to bring. Don't really feel like Manhattans. I did Kingston negronis my last trip. Haven't settled on during and this sounds like it fits the season.

Just made this with a Vermont amaro (Fernet Vexia) in place of the Branca (and Cocchi di Torino because that’s what I’ve got) and it is delicious!

Best part of your newsletter (other than the cocktails) is the dog pics!
