I had a little leftover honey syrup so I used that instead of the spoonful of sugar. I should have also toned back the falernum or upped the rum + lime in response. But otherwise, the honey added an extra flavor complexity that I really enjoyed!

I will have to try this again. I thought I had pineapple juice, but it was actually pineapple juice drink. You would think something that said Simply Pineapple on it was actually pineapple juice. Oh well, was just trying to use something that got left at my house. Will toss the juice drink and try again with pure pineapple juice!

A very lovely highball! I recommend trying with Fever Tree Distillers Cola. It fits Fernet better in my opinion than Coke or Pepsi.

Went with Bombay Sapphire and Luxardo Cherry with the Fernet. Used ratios from recipe. As Caspian and David have said, it's not sweet at all. The flavors are well balanced, one flavor doesn't dominate a sip, though the Fernet clings more on the aftertaste than the juniper and cherry.

A solid cocktail and a fine way to enjoy Fernet.
