Napoleon
Rust-coloured, spirituous and bittersweet with assertive fernet herbal notes. Good as an aperitivo but brilliant as a digestivo

For those like me who find Fernet-Branca cocktails on the bitter side, I found that a drop of 20% saline helped here. It toned the bitterness down without otherwise taking away from the overall flavour profile.

Thanks, Tuber. Agreed! I've added 2 drops of saline to the recipe.

Good as an aperitif. Fernet add a unique touch of herbal and spicy.
