Sweet, but less sweet than I was expecting with the maple syrup and raisins. Also surprised how it does not feel watered down at all with so much added water. Dark fruit and brown sugar with the maple and fernet peeking through.

Is the Fernet just to rinse the glass, as the method describes? 30ml seems like a lot for that...

Agreed. I've cut back to a mere bar spoons worth. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Literally, 20 years since I last made this. I'll revisit and also update the photo.
