Good but something is missing. Maybe next time (if there is one) I will omit the filtered water.

I made it 2:1 as I saw it on a Rogue Cocktails spreadsheet. I like it but I would also drink just vermouth or just fernet, so I was pretty sure it was gonna work.

I think this has to be sipped in the proper setting. A dingy dive bar allowing fumar? I made mine with Punt e Mes, which I thought I'd like best, and I was luckily rewarded.

I, too, went for the Punt e Mes, as it is truly my favorite vermouth/amaro! And your comment regarding smoking made me reach for my mezcal—just a half teaspoon to give the last quarter of my Bonsoni a new little twist!

This was delicious! I was expecting it to be more bitter but the fernet was beautifully balanced. The hint of menthol was really refreshing.

as a fan of all kinds of Fernet and a kinda fan of sweet vermouth, I think this very simple drink combines the best of both worlds. It mellows the overly simple and sweet taste of red vermouth, while not being overly medicinal from Fernet. Also, very simple to make, which is always a good thing.
