Review

Noted for being the cocktail that packs the most Fernet, this is a brilliant brunch pick-me-up or a refreshing and revitalising digestive.

The fernet and brancamenta are clearly the dominant flavors, but the lime and ginger beer combine to lighten and brighten the cocktail. The notes mention this as a brunch cocktail, and I think that would be very nice and refreshing. I don't think I'd use this as a digestivo - there are other fernet drinks for that.

Really delicious and refreshing, I love the pairing of the bitter with the mint and ginger. Fernet is a recent discovery for me.
