3/4 oz Fernet Branca
1 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
Shake with ice and strain into a Highball glass with ice. Top with 1 1/2 oz soda water. Add a pinch of salt to the top ice cube, garnish with a grapefruit twist, and add a straw.
After Stoddard's, I ventured over to No. 9 Park where Tyler Wang was behind the stick. For a starter, I had the Triumph of Pompeii; Tyler explained that they had riffed off of Milk and Honey's Rome is Burning cocktail. I later failed to find a recipe for this inspirational drink and instead kept coming up with recipes for the one Scott Holliday created with the same name. Feel free to leave a comment with the recipe if you have it.

Silly me, had the drink confused.
The original is "Rome with a View", Michael McIlroy's drink from Milk and Honey.
The recipe is as follows:
1 oz Campari
1 oz dolin dry
1 oz fresh lime
3/4 oz simple syrup
Shaken strained into a highball and topped with soda
Garnished with an orange slice.
Thanks! We gave it a whirl 2 days ago. It came out a little grapefruit-like which made me wonder if that's why you switched to grapefruit juice in yours.
