Hey Buddy!

1 1/2 ounces Rye

1/2 ounce Fernet Branca

1 1/2 teaspoons Fig Jam

Fresh Sage

Lemon Twist

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, muddle fig jam and 4 leaves of fresh sage.   Add rye, Fernet Branca, and ice and shake very well.  Double strain into a chilled coupe.  Express the oils of the lemon peel over the cocktail and discard lemon peel.  Slap one leaf of fresh sage between palms to  express oils before laying it across surface of cocktail as garnish.
