Good Night, Irene

If you like Stingers but wish they weren’t so sickly-sweet, this is the drink for you! A mint Fernet, like Fernet Branca Menta, is a wonderfully complex step up from the typical crème de menthe.

As suggested by the fanciful name chosen for it by its creator Audrey Sanders, it makes a great nightcap.

Ingredients

1 part Bourbon or Rye whiskey
1 part Mint fernet

Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into an ice-filled glass.
