History

Created in 2013 by Regina Butler at Blackbird Bar in San Francisco, USA. Regina's original recipe calls for Fernet Vallet, a Mexican amaro that's sadly not available in the UK.

Review

Mezcal, cinnamon and bittersweet Fernet are big-hitting flavours which combine brilliantly in this characterful yet harmonious cocktail.

Blood orange doesn't add the necessary tartness. I'd sub in lime juice for half the blood orange juice.

I've seen Fernet Vallet rather than Branca called for elsewhere (also mentioned under 'History' for your Succulent Blood cocktail), would that happen to be the original recipe? Have you found that you prefer Branca in this cocktail?

Indeed, the original recipe calls for Fernet Vallet. I've added a note above and links to and from my Succulent Blood cocktail. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
