Story
This was the boldest of the stirred Bénédictine options. Fernet supplies menthol and dark herbs, Cynar adds earthy bitterness, and Bénédictine rounds their sharper edges with honey and spice while rye holds the center.
Method
- Chill a Nick & Nora glass.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted.
- Strain into the chilled glass.
- Express an orange peel over the surface and use it as the garnish.
Notes
- This is deliberately intense and best suited to drinkers who enjoy bitter, slowly evolving cocktails.
- Do not increase the Fernet casually; the quarter-ounce measure is already assertive.
