Fernet Branca or Luxardo unbeatable at the price point, Branca brings a little sweetness that other FErnets dont.
I have the Tempus Fugit one, Fernet del Frate. I received it as a gift and loved it right away, but when I learned that it is 55 € in Germany where Branca is 15 €, i knew I wouldn't restock on it.
My tour goes on: This has always been a little lacking. What made it a 5+ cocktail for me, is the addition of Cynar 70.
Cynar 70 is really good stuff. I highly recommend it. Where the regular Cynar feels a little thin, this one is intense, much deeper and full bodied. Has hints of menthol, licorice and even a fruit stew, wine-like nose. And much more pronounced artichoke aroma. Cough syrup also comes to mind (but in the good ways) ;-)
Also try the Midnight Marauder and the Cin-Cyn with it!
