Shake in a shaker with ice until cold. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel. To make the cinnamon syrup: Add one cup of simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) to a high-speed blender with one cinnamon stick. Blend until completely combined and allow to settle. Strain through a fine sieve into a container. Refrigerate for up to a month.

Editor's Note

Fernet-Branca takes center stage in this bold, herbal sour. Cinnamon syrup and Cointreau provide the necessary counterpoint to the amaro's intense, mentholated bite.
