I was in a goth band a year or two ago and we had a habit at every show of everyone doing a shot of this before we played.

Equal parts Fernet Branca, Campari, and Cynar, with a pinch of salt and a twist of grapefruit = the Bottecchia, which makes for a great nightcap.

Revive for Christmas. Fernet in cocktails has never worked for me because it just ends up tasting like adulterated Fernet but the other day I had this in Dublin:
FERNET IT**Olmeca Reposado Tequila, sweet vermouth, Green Chartreuse, Fernet Branca, VCC porter, gomme syrup, Orinoco Bitters, with lemon oils
and it turns out that tequila + Chartreuse + Guinness can gang up on the Fernet and come to a truce.

also interesting. i’ve got a large and steadily diminishing bottle of fernet in the kitchen cupboard. steadily diminishing because i’ve got into the bad habit of pouring myself several large slugs of the stuff after returning home from a night out.

In Madrid a few years ago, my wife ordered fernet at a bar, expecting to get a little digestif-sized serving. The bartender clearly didn't know what the stuff was, even though she had a bottle of it, so she gave my wife a full 8-oz glass of it, no rocks or anything. Just a whole glass of room-temp fernet. Most of it got left behind when we went to the next bar.

#OnThisDay 1976: Esther Rantzen took to the streets to trial an Italian hangover cure.
Reactions consistent with when I started bringing Fernet to parties 30 years later.

I am not generally a fan of alternative Fernets...but I've been drinking Fernet Francisco and it's pretty good! More open than yr Branca but equally consumable in large quantities...

we actually bought a small bottle of Jaegermeister recently, something I hadn't tasted in probably 25 years
It was ice cold and it wasn't half bad - nice herbal profile, not too sweet
I'll wait another 25 years and try it again
