How to make The Fernet About It Cocktail

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.
