To commemorate his 2008 guest-bartending stint at Drink in Boston, mixologist Ryan Fitzgerald concocted this aromatic cocktail. He wanted to include a dash of flavor from his hometown San Francisco in the mix, so he rinsed the glass with Fernet-Branca, the city's unofficial favorite spirit. "It adds a nice saffron aroma."
