NOT JUST FOR AUTUMN!

Negroni - elevated. I'd say improved by maybe 20% on the original

I'm a big fan of Fernet Branca and I have been looking for other ways to drink it (other than as a ferrari as a digestif with equal parts campari). This is perfect and close to my other favourite the Last Word. Agreed that maybe the sugar could be dialled down. Tempted to sub Maraschino in to see how it fares

I bought some fernet branca on a whim before Christmas and it was an inspired experiment. Between this (5* for me) and The Ferrari (equal parts Fernet and Campari) my digestif needs were sated. This cocktail is delicious, but it kinda tastes like tempered Fernet - I don't get much tequila (I've used both Olmeca and Madre mescal and a combination). Am I wasting good stuff on it?
