I've tried this recipe with both white and dark crème de cacao, and I prefer it with the heavier chocolatey notes the dark version brings to this herbal fernet and lime cocktail.

Used Asterley Bros Britannica Fernet with flavours of Cacao, enhanced by the Crème de Cacao, in the initial hit then the full Fernet body comes through.

So tasty.
