I love the name! I was surprised at how much orange there was in the taste - gin notes lead, but orange is very prominent. Unusual for Fernet to be relegated to the background - it is there, but behind the peppery/botanical gin and the orange. I don't know what the Dubonnet is doing - I may remake with Carpano Antica as noted in the history (IDK about using Branca - I think the Fernet is nice). No one else comments on orange - I wonder if my orange bitters dasher is too high.

Delicious! Just on the bitter side of bittersweet. Was unsure this would work as an aperitif but did that very well.

I also found this too bitter even with a long stir. A touch of agave syrup mellowed it out nicely.

I was a little worried that this might be too bitter for me given the Fernet. To my surprise, I found it nicely balanced. I should add however, I gave it a very long stir, so maybe the added dilution moderated the Fernet.

This is very bitter. I added some sugar syrup and still we didn't much like it

Herbal and slightly sweet. Perfect aperitif. Nice peppery flavour. Slight orange hints at the end. Perfect with a sharp cheese.
