The Toronto cocktail recipe is a fernet drinker's Manhattan: rye, a measured pour of fernet, simple syrup and bitters, stirred cold. BRITANNICA London Fernet performs beautifully here: bold enough to make its presence felt against the rye, but not so aggressive as to overwhelm the balance of the drink.
Ingredients
- 50 ml rye whiskey
- 15 ml BRITANNICA London Fernet
- 10 ml simple syrup
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters
Method
Step 1: Stir
Add rye, BRITANNICA, syrup and bitters to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled and velvety.
Step 2: Strain
Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over a large cube.
Step 3: Garnish
Express an orange peel over the drink and discard or drop in.
Tasting Notes
Robust and structured, with the rye providing backbone and BRITANNICA's fernet character weaving mint and dark botanicals through the finish: a serious after-dinner drink.
