Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
  • 1/8 ounce fernet ½ teaspoon see note
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 orange for the garnish

Instructions

  • Place the cocktail glass in the freezer to chill.
  • Add the ice to a mixing glass. Add the gin, sweet vermouth and fernet, stirring until chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass.
  • Cut a long, narrow strip of orange peel using a channel knife (or paring knife) over the top of the glass. This allows the essential oils of the orange to flavor the drink.
  • Add the orange twist to the rim of the glass with part of it dangling into the drink. Serve immediately.
