Creative Drinking

Tonight: Broken English

This recipe was taken from "gaz regan's Annual Manual for Bartenders 2011 101 Best New Cocktails". The recipe is adapted from a recipe by Colin Shear at Philadelphia's
Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company. I cannot WAIT to go to this place. In the meantime, I gathered the ingredients and, i have to say, it is amazing. I also have to say, the wrong measurements could completely throw this off.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz gin
• 1 oz sweet vermouth
• 1/2 oz Strega liqueur
• 1/4 oz Fernet (I used Luxardo but Fernet Branca is easier to find)
• 1 tsp Benedictine
• 2 dashes orange bitters (I used Regans but Angostura orange bitters are pretty easy to find now)
• 2 dashes Peychauds bitters

Add all ingredients in mixing glass. Add ice and stir. Strain into chilled cocktail glass and garnish with grapefruit twist.
