Not a very good Martini, but back then I knew no better. Some years later I misunderstood a doctor's advice to avoid beer as an instruction to drink more cocktails... at least, that's my story.

Further to my earlier comment, use dry gin not old Tom. Negroni should not be sweet.

Don't think I overpoured the Fernet but it was very pronounced. Felt like it needed something sweet to balance eg maraschino.
