1 1⁄2 fl oz Vodka (Weber Ranch)
3/4 fl oz Fernet liqueur (R. Jelínek)
1⁄2 fl oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/2 fl oz Simple syrup
6 drop Saline solution
2 dash Grapefruit bitters
Bittersweet from the Fernet I used and sweetness and sour from the sugar and lemon. I deviated from the OG by: upping the Fernet ;using simple instead of rich syrup; and, adding the grapefruit bitters.
The vodka is an oddball made from blue agave spirit redistilled to produce a grain-free neutral spirit. Still has some residual sweetness that a totally neutral vodka doesn’t have.
