Add Mint, Basil, Fernet, and Simple to shaker. Muddle together. Add ice and the rest of the ingredients, minus the seltzer. Shake & Strain into collins glass with pebble ice. Top with Watermelon Seltzer Garnish with Mint

Editor's Note

Watermelon seltzer meets the herbal bite of Fernet-Branca and fresh basil. A bright, gin-forward highball that balances bitter complexity with summer fruit.
