This is so awesome. I just had Fernet for the first time recently and made a video on two cocktails you mentioned: Midnight Stinger and in Part II the Toronto Cocktail. Then when you mentioned substituting for mint in cocktails, I paused video an mentioned to my wife what you suggested and said we should try on a Mint Julep. Then unpaused and you are making a rift on mint julep. lol. love it, great minds think alike. The interesting thing, the more I drank Fernet the more I liked it. So I will definitely try more cocktail with Fernet. Thanks and cheers.

as soon as I saw the video, there was an ingredient, so I drank it right away. this is an incredibly good recipe. Thank you at all times

I’ve gotta say that I really appreciate your channel, not just because of the Canadian connection, but because the spirits and liqueurs you use can be easily found, for the most part. I get disappointed when recipes call for *just one* ingredient that I can’t find, or something that’s too specific (that again, I can’t find). This looks super exciting, and I can’t wait to give it a try.

There's a small diference between italian fernet and argentinian fernet, despite they are from the same brand, the argentinian is more bitter focused and less minty than the italian, never tried the italian one, but a lot of argentinian friends that traveled to europe, told me that is different. Also to add, we consume it with different sodas, yet coke is the top option without discussion. But with grapefruit soda, or tonic water and now even with ginger ale, are great combinations too. Also theres a mint version of branca, super strong mint (obviously), and that is not loved as the OG, and it's exclusively drink with 7up/Sprite or any lime-lemon soda

I like Branca Mentia. It's made by the same company, and it's somewhat similar but is a bit sweeter and massively more minty with a kind of menthol flavor going on. I think it's easier to use and I can even drink it straight. But I really can't get enough mint and love menthol so your milage may vary.

@@Kiki_Fugawi I've mostly been experimenting with it as a modifier in amounts of 1/4 oz or less. It does easily take over a cocktail if you add more. I mostly find myself using it in cocktails that are already minty to give it more complexity and to sweeten it a bit. But I did come up with one drink featuring it that I liked. It's kind of a pain, though because two of the ingredients were homemade, so making it precisely the same may be too big of a pain. But I'll leave the recipe here. 1oz earl grey infused gin 1oz Branca Mentia 1oz lemon juice 3/4 oz Aperol 1/2 oz home-made white creme de menthe 2 dashes Fee Brothers orange bitters 1-2 dashes Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters shake and serve in a coupe I know it kinda looks like a hot mess. I mean, the ingredients make me think of having a big glass of orange juice after brushing my teeth. But it turned out better than it looks. The trick here is that nothing quite hits at the same time or place on the palette. It's bittersweet and very herbal. The cream de menthe is delicious and easy to make. I found the recipe here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHhp2LSpeK_bkbA.html Earl grey gin is just 2 tbsp loose leaf earl grey tea per 375ml gin steeped for 2 hours. Shake occasionally. I used beefeater.

Over Christmas this last year, I "infused" some Fernet Branca with candy canes, and took a bourbon cream recipe and substituted Fernet. It was SO decadent, the bitterness faded from the foreground into a nice, supportive complexity, while letting the minty, dark chocolate notes sit at the front thanks to the sweet components of the otherwise-normal bourbon cream ingredients, sans bourbon. That was how I turned soooo many of my friends into Fernet lovers. PLEASE DO MORE FERNET VIDEOS!
