Bittersweet from the Fernet I used and sweetness and sour from the sugar and lemon. I deviated from the OG by: upping the Fernet ;using simple instead of rich syrup; and, adding the grapefruit bitters.
The vodka is an oddball made from blue agave spirit redistilled to produce a grain-free neutral spirit. Still has some residual sweetness that a totally neutral vodka doesn’t have.

3/4 fl oz Fernet liqueur (R. Jelínek)
