Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a rocks glass or coupe by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you mix the drink.
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker add 1 tablespoon Fernet Branca, 2 oz cachaça, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Add ice and shake
Add the 4 oz of ice to the shaker. Cap and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold and well-chilled.
Strain and finish
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or a single strainer if you don't have one) to remove small ice shards and pulp.
Garnish
Express a lime peel over the top to release oils, rub the rim with it if desired, and drop the wheel or twist into or onto the glass.
Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Sip and enjoy the bitter herbal lift of Fernet balanced by the grassy, fruity notes of cachaça and the bright acidity of lime.
