ABOUT
This is an original of mine that is inspired by a fernet cocktail called an Alligator. Fernet is polarizing: some people love its bold, complex taste, while others find it overpowering. It's traditionally consumed as a digestif, though my go-to dive bar drink is Fernet & Coke. Here it is served as a faux tropical drink. Cheers y’all!
