Stirred down and bourbon-led with bittersweet amaro, and a hit of rich maraschino, lifted and enlivened by fernet's herbal complexity.

I noticed this recipe, as with the Manhattan Perfect and Martínez (Diffords), says Fine Strain. Why’s that, being all stirred and juice free? Thanks :)

None of these recipes require fine straining and should all now say strain. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

A burst of flavour. Everything works perfectly together. Just a hint of sweet. Fernet and amaro add herbal and digestive hints. Very easy to drink.

Definitely a favoured cocktail here. Consistent with my sweet preference, I double the Maraschino. Must confess I have not yet added the lemon zest twist. Must remember to do that.
