The Bitter End

This recipe was developed by Frank Bonanno, chef-owner of the Green Russell bar in Denver, Colorado. He explains: "With a nod to our favorite Colorado spirits company, we use Leopold whiskey, Domaine De Canton, fresh lime, and Prosecco, topped with Fernet Branca. It's a beautifully layered and balanced cocktail, refreshing to drink, with bit of a kick, and lovely to behold."
