Painted Mule
LIQUOR: Fernet, Lillet Rouge
DIFFICULTY: Moderate
A talented mixologist from Kansas City created this cocktail some years ago. Its layers of flavor will surprise and delight your palate. We drink it in summer because the hint of mint in the Fernet-Branca, enhanced by the red vermouth, lime and ginger beer – and the balancing sweetness of Big O, make this a refreshingly complex and satisfying combination.
