History

An unusual, vermouth-based herbal cocktail, delivering freshness and aroma.

This cocktail was encountered in 2010 at Employees Only in New York City, its place of origin. The recipe obtained that night called for 30ml (1oz) dry vermouth, 30ml (1oz) rosso/sweet vermouth, 7.5ml Galliano, and only 5ml (1/6oz) fernet, with a note stating: "Originally based only on bianco vermouth with no dry vermouth." It appears their current recipe for a Fernando is more in line with the proportions mentioned earlier, likely due to their hospitality. For those who enjoyed the previous version, the recipe is 30ml (1oz) dry vermouth, 30ml (1oz) sweet/rosso vermouth, 7.5ml (¼oz) Galliano, and 5ml (1/6oz) fernet.
