  • Wrong vermouth, but eased up on fernet and liked it. Much better than a negroni
  • Pretty sweet, but way better than I thought. A keeper.
  • Made with St. George Terroir and Cocchi - the Terroir and the FB played nicely with each other.
  • 2, 1, 1/4
  • Made with antica.
  • My wife hated this. Said "This cocktail hurt my feelings". But I liked it. My first time trying a Fernet Branca drink. — ★★★★
  • Elegante com Dolin. Potente e mais amargo com Punt e Mes
  • 1/4/18: 1.5 oz Tanqueray, 1.5 oz Cocchi vermouth, scant 1/4 tsp Fernet Branca, orange peel, 1 big rock. Very nice. Might like to try a variation with 1 oz gin, 2 oz vermouth.
  • One of my favorites. Pretty sweet, but the Fernet adds enough to keep it interesting.
  • Good but a bit boring. Best with a very nice vermouth. More fernet also helps.

trying to figure out what the "Hanky Panky Nohow" would be. Anyway, I enjoy this drink with a little more fernet.


I actually prefer this with a more "traditional" sweet vermouth--like Dolin or Martini & Rossi; Carpano has a bit to much vanilla for this drink IMO



I like 2 gin, 1 vermouth, 1/4 fernet in this.


We do:

1.5 oz Beefeater

.75 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

.5 oz chilled Fernet-Branca, as float

Stir, strain into a Nick & Nora, float. No other garnish.

The Cocchi rosso vermouth and the Branca work beautifully together in this and other applications.

If you like a Martinez, then you'll probably like this one.
