STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Assemble your tools and spirits, for this you'll need mixing glass(I use 600ml beaker) strainer spoon and measuring device.
1 1/2 oz of gin I'm using barrel aged gin that's a little smoother. A beefeater gun would work well too.
1/2 oz of fernet vallet, you can use the Italian variety too I think the Mexican fernet is more balanced flavor.
Measure 1/2 oz sweet vermouth.
Measure 1/2 oz or curaçao
Pour into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass and garnish with a orange peel.
- 1.0oz Gin (I'm using an aged version)
- 0.0oz Fernet vallet (you could use fernet branca too)
- 0.0oz Sweet vermouth
- 0.0oz Curaçao
