    Favourite Basic Flavour

    Bitter. Fernet Branca, to be precise. Followed closely by Valrhona’s 85% Cocoa Le Noir Extra Amer.

    Craft: amazing joint!

    for a Fernet Branca. Girl dubitates. Asks the classical “How you spell it?” I grin. F-E-R-N-E-T. She writes down, takes leave. I comment, preparing my next move:”Would they know what Vemouth means?” . Lo ‘n behold, 10 minutes...

    NW Detroit: best liquor store?

    Hi, I am looking for the closest bottle of Fernet Branca to Lake Orion. Would anyone know where I could pick some up? So I guess I’m not necessarily looking for the best selection, just a place with Fernet! :o) Thanks.

    Bitter liquors

    I personally love bitter liqueurs, from Campari to Fernet Branca, but I guess it can be an acquired taste. If you’re interested in acquiring such a taste, you can start out with Campari and soda, or try an Americano (no,...

    Pabst Blue Ribbon

    Sorry had to do it- Heineken F*ck that sh*t, Give me a Pabst Blue Ribbon. In my old neighborhood in San Fran we drank tons of that stuff with shots of Fernet Branca. We considered ourselves to be artists of a sort, always working...

    Underberg bitters

    Oddly enough, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them in Kalustyan’s – across from the cash registers, on the shelves above the dried fruit. I just drink Underberg as a digestif, over ice, like I would Fernet-Branca...

    UNICUM? other Hungarian liquor?

    “A little is medicine, a lot is poison,” as the Hungarians say except that they say it in Hungarian. I love the stuff and have looked for it in bars for years. Never found it. I was hoping after the Fernet Branca craze...

    international drinks?

    are too juicy. Chez Henri has a long list of Cuban-style rum tails, including great mojitos and periodistas. Caffe Vittoria has a nice selection of Italian cordials. Bricco has fewer than I’d hoped, e.g., no Fernet Branca...

    Amare (sp?) (Italian bitters)

    Astor Liquors has a decent selection of digestives. Amaro Lucano is a good one. Ramazotti, another well known. Fernet Branca is probably the “next level” of bitters and no where near as smooth as the other...

    In the December Issue of Cucina Italiana, amongst ads for Averna, Fernet Branca, Delverde Pasta, Salvatore Mirisola Olive Oil, Grana Padano, and Verenna Poliform.... is an Olive Garden advert. LOL! Regards, Erik M.

    Becherovka?

    They may have it in the city at Astor Place Liquors. They seem to have a good selection. It’s funny that you like that stuff. I have been to the town in the Czech Republic where they make it. It’s not far from Prague....

    Massimo

    corkage, $8.50 water, $10 Fernet Branca and tax : $140. Now, considering the lease costs at Rodeo & Little Santa Monica, I’d say very reasonable. Place pretty much full, good service. Free parking, courtesy of the City of...

    Digestif advice?

    For me, the list begins and ends with Fernet Branca. (herbally)

    Quick Note: chow at Sunday Cajun Brunch

    "Who knows the name of that German herbal concoction in a tiny green bottle taken as an antidote to overeating?" Stonsdorfer? The digestif of choice in my nabe is Fernet-Branca, though.
