ABOUT
This cocktail originated in Robert Vermeire’s 1922 book, “Cocktails: How to Mix Them,” and was simply called the Fernet Cocktail. Since then, the proportions have changed and so did the name. This drink was resurrected by Jamie Boudreau, owner of Seattle bar Canon. Fernet is strong so it’s important to use a quality rye. Cheers y’all!
