Black Sails

Black Sails is a mysterious, pirate-inspired cocktail served in a snifter with fresh mint, blending the herbal bite of Fernet, the warmth of Montenegro, and the smoky richness of Johnny Black. With agave and layers of chocolate mole and tobacco bitters, it evokes the aroma of gunpowder smoke. Thank you.
