ABOUT
This wonderful drink was created by Jon and Siobhan (@subtletiki) and was named after the song by Vundabar. Fernet is a bitter Italian liqueur that packs a punch of mint and other botanicals. It can be an acquired taste. When mixed in a cocktail, Fernet performs an important task. To quote bartender Erick Castro (@hungrybartender), “It’s like cooking with a really powerful ingredient like garlic. Without Fernet Branca, the drink is nowhere near as dynamic.” If you’re looking for cocktail that showcases this amaro without overpowering everything else, give this a try! Cheers y’all!
