This was delicious, but even as someone who is a fan fernet, a 1:1 is a bit much. I only did 1/4oz simple syrup as well, but that was preference. 1/2oz seemed like it would have been fine too.

For the next mix, I'll probably do a 2:1 bourbon to fernet or higher to allow the bourbon a little more room to shine. All that said, very tasty after dinner cocktail.

Don't get that much bourbon, but still delicious. Not a drink for those who dislike Fernet, though.

Fernet Branca can be a bit much to me, as I have a genetic sensitivity to bitterness - but I found this very enjoyable. Used Russell’s Reserve 90 proof.

I love fernet so this recipe had me excited the minute i discovered it. Shook it for a tad too long so it was a bit watered down yet it still tasted quite nice, pleasant bitterness and bourbon undertones, overall a very solid cocktail.

I was supposed to see Neil Young tonight at a really good outdoor venue and it was postponed two hours before the show because one of the crew had health issues. Made the stinger first, have had them before and loved them. So this time so I poured a splash of ginger beer because there were only a little bit left in the bottle. Is pretty good, Until someone give's me a better name for the drink I'll call it the Chicago Midnight Medicine with instructions 🎵🎸🥁🎹drink two hours before show.

Having long been a favorite of mine, while making it tonight had half the lemon juice, made up the difference with lime. Then I was short of enough Fernet Branca so I did a split shot with Vecchio Amaro del Capo and served on not very crushed ice. Awesome, still five stars, perhaps my favorite fernet cocktail, Tuva is good here also.

A cocktail, where Fernet Branca shines affront: remarkable, we love it.
Also, you might want to try it with Maple, instead of sugar syrup and Single Malt Scotch of your choice.

Very enjoyable drink. I too use Evan Williams bottled in bond 100 proof. The mix as specified is very enjoyable. On ice and mellowing a few minutes allows this drink to mature into a very enjoy after dinner delight.
