This is a vermouth forward stirred drink. It has different flavors that change over time as you sip, allowing the ice to melt slowly, incorporating a bit of the salt.

1 1/2 oz Cocchi vermouth di Torino
1/4 oz St. George Absinthe Verte
1/2 oz Ramazzotti amaro
1/2 oz Fernet Branca
2 dashes Abbott's bitters

Add all these guys into a mixing glass with ice and stir.

Add a large ice cube into a rocks glass and pour the cocktail around the cube.

Take a pinch of salt (what's less than a pinch?) and place it on top of the ice.

[ Enjoy ]
