A simple drink featuring Fernet and Campari. . Michael Dietsch

Some drinkers will enjoy this two-ingredient shot's bracing bitterness; others will think of it as Hell's hazing ritual. Me? I love the pants off of it. The Campari's subtle orange flavors pair well with (and somewhat tames) Fernet's minty fist. This drink won't convert anyone who hates either Fernet Branca or Campari, but if you love either or both, you should try this.
