This cocktail, coming from the great cocktail book by Steve the Bartender, has been a real hit as we wrap up the summer and get into fall. During our taste testing session this one was my personal favorite of the bunch (and that’s saying something, as will soon be seen when the Fall Menu 2024 launches Sept 1st).

This cocktail has the base of a whiskey sour, but it adds Fernet Branca and changes the whole game. This is an apertive that you will find sitting alongside things like Vermouth, Campari, and Amaro. Fernet can be sipped straight or mixed. We hope this cocktail serves as an introduction to a new bottle that might be less familiar.
