INSIDER NOTES
“Ever since I spent a Christmas in Verona, Fernet and the holidays have always been inextricably linked,” explains Piacentini, ‘inoteca’s Bar Manager. Mixing this bitter, aromatic spirit into a hot flip adds to its existing warming properties. All the classic flavors and spices of winter mixed with the complexity of Fernet Branca come together to create a cocktail that transports you back to the old Italian world.
