This drink is so spirituous that it may have finished Archibald off, but at least his last drink was a proper sharpener. Then again, the perceived health-giving...
Any idea about the origin of this drink? I've not been able to find anything about it online. Something about it feels to me more like a modern invention rather than a vintage drink
As far as I'm aware it's a modern cocktail. I've no notes as to its origin but I first came across it in 2019 as that's when I added it to my database.
I did not have the Bendictine, so I made a version of this with PX Sherry for a less herbal drink. The raisiny flavors of the PX go well with the Fernet and spicy Rye.
