No juice, no shake, baby. I learned this from my mentors of bar. Stir it 45 revolutions & strain into your glass.
Fergus Henderson, in his cookbook The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating, gives a recipe for a similar hangover "cure", which he attributes to his father, and calls "A Miracle": 2 parts Fernet Branca and 1 part creme de menthe.
I love the name of this cocktail! Makes me want to host a cocktail party just so I can serve them.
Well, it made me look up Fernet Branca, and that alone is an interesting tale! Next time I'm in SF, I know what to order.
