Definitely cut the Fernet in half, and it’s delicious. I added 1 oz of dry gin and now it’s my perfect herbal cocktail.
I was looking for a way to use fernet, Strega, and gin so this comment was gold for me. I leaned in for the holidays though and used a candy cane gin. It’s not bad but I think a normal gin would be much better.
This is a new favorite in my house. Rather than calling it overly floral though, I would argue it is a little sparse on dimensional flavor. I'm going to try again by swapping either 1/4oz of gin or Creme de Violette for ginger liquor for a bit of seasoning.
This is one of my favorite drinks. I just made a party batch using a 1:1 sugar syrup but I infused it with strawberry. It's much sweeter and great for an easy-going party.
I didn't have Averna so I used Nonino with Rittenhouse Rye and... Chef's kiss. I'm going to try this with every remaining amaro I have.
