History

This digestivo is ideal after a hearty meal. The first sips may be challenging for those unaccustomed to fernet, but this refreshing cocktail then becomes eminently sippable and stomach-settling.

This drink is adapted from one created by Sam Ross at Attaboy in New York City, USA. Ross's original recipe used equal parts (3/4oz each) of lemon juice and a 1:1 sugar syrup. The recipe has been adjusted to use a richer 2:1 sugar syrup.
