Fernet Branca might be considered the bartender’s handshake for many; it is still repulsive for many others. So I thought I could make a cocktail using it that would please the hard-core Fernet fans out there but at the same time, I wanted it to be a great way to get used to Fernet and hopefully be the best drink to tame the beast.
Along the way, I’m also sharing some of my favorite ways to use Fernet Branca. Cheers!
