Lemon and lime start things up, with the herbal notes of fernet bringing up the rear, in this cocktail by Jerry Nevins from his book, "Sloshies: 102 Boozy Cocktails Straight from the Freezer."

This recipe originally appeared as part of "You're Going to Need Frozen Cocktails This Summer. These 3 Are the Ones to Make."

3 oz Appleton Estate Jamaica rum
6 oz Fernet-Branca liqueur
17 3/4 oz Simple syrup
4 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
3 oz Fresh lime juice
3/4 tsp Fee Brothers lemon bitters
6 oz Water

Makes 4.
Add all the ingredients in a medium-size metal bowl and stir.
Pour the liquid into a large freezer bag, and place it in the freezer until frozen for approximately 4 hours.
When ready to drink, massage the freezer bag by hand until it’s a wet, slushy consistency. If it’s not breaking up, run the bag quickly under hot water and massage some more.
Divide among four coupe glasses.
