And a merry old soul was I! Very nice combination, keeping the Fernet in balance with the Rye. Next time, I'll try it with different types of bitters (orange, cherry, maple-walnut, etc.) for a subtle variation on a great simple cocktail.

Great evening sipper and digestive. The rye gives it warm tones and the fernet herbal and minty. Wonderful for relaxing after a long day.

Very tasty! Though it puts me in mind of my personal variation on the Toronto: 2-1/4 oz rye, 3/4 oz ginger syrup, 1/2 oz Fernet. I call it Timmy’s Toronto — and it’s my go-to for something a bit bracing but also bright.

Love this. If you enjoy a Manhattan, then you'll like this. I didn't have pineapple and an orange so I used my fallback, home canned cherries in bourbon and triple-sec. Oh yeah!
