the flower room

1/2 oz Fernet Branca
1 bsp Lemon Juice (1/8 oz)

Shake with ice, strain into a Collins glass with 2 oz soda water, and fill with ice cubes.Two Wednesdays ago, after doing the books at work, I reached for the "Drinks of Drink" binder and selected the Flower Room. This embittered Highball had no other information besides the recipe such as hints to the date, creator, and rationale for the name, but a Gin-Ferrari Highball sounded like a solid way to wrap up the evening. Once prepared, the Flower Room wafted to the nose with bitter orange and pine aromas. Next, a carbonated orange sip bloomed into gin, menthol, and minty flavors on the swallow. Overall, it delivered as expected and there were no great surprises here flavor-wise.
