This really is an exceptional drink. No wonder it’s so popular. I love the minty freshness it adds to the cola, along with the herbal. A great match.

I tried this with a no sugar-version and honestly it doesn't work. I don't know if it's my proportions or the Fernet bitterness acting with the sweetener but the bitterness shines right through. The flavours are nice though, it's just the sweetener with Fernet combo that doesn't work.

This is it. The perfect highball. I like the cola-heavy 3:1 ratio, any more Fernet and it starts to overpower.

A very lovely highball! I recommend trying with Fever Tree Distillers Cola. It fits Fernet better in my opinion than Coke or Pepsi.

Wonderfully assertive and yet beautifully poised. Like a good tango.

Men, if you don't want problems, correct the description, where it is most popular is in the Province of Cordoba ;)

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
