lasting impression

1 1/2 oz London Dry Gin (Beefeater)
1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse
1/2 oz Lillet Blanc (Cocchi Americano)
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
1/4 oz Vanilla Syrup

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Thursdays ago, I spied the Lasting Impression by bartender, bar owner, and Drink Masters judge Frankie Solarik via online flashcards. While I could not find any other reference to this drink such as where or when it was created, the combination called to me. In the glass, the Lasting Impression formulated an orange, herbal, and orchard fruit aroma. Next, caramel notes on the sip converted into gin, bitter, herbal, and vanilla flavors on the swallow.
