Still clearly a cognac cocktail, but the fernet works it's magic and gives this a lighter and fresher note. The mastiha seems lost in this combo, and adds more sweetness to that coming from the rich syrup - I'm not sure if I'd notice a drop in the cocktail quality if I removed the mastiha.

I used Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters. Excellent.

I removed the sugar syrup since I mostly prefer my drinks a little drier. It worked well with that tweak in place.

Not sure if it is because of the Cognac I used, but I think this one was too present in the taste

I quite like it as a boozy late-night digestive but I have reduced cognac to 45ml (from 50ml).
