About
This classic cocktail dates back to 1941 where it was featured in Crosby Gaige's Cocktail Guide and Ladies' Companion. The name of the drink is a nod to a naval battle cry from the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States. I’ve seen some specs dial the Fernet down to a quarter ounce, but surprisingly, the Fernet did not bully the other ingredients here.Cheers y’all!
