Spend enough time with West Coast bartenders and sooner or later you’ll find yourself sipping a powerful, bitter spirit called Fernet-Branca. You probably won’t like it. Then you’ll try it again and you still won’t like it. But something compels you to keep going and you find yourself strangely drawn to the mysterious elixir. And then you’re one of us.
For one night only, Carlyle celebrates the cult favorite amaro with a special menu of cocktails featuring Fernet-Branca. Fernet for dessert? We’ve got that too. (Here’s a hint: Fernet and creme de menthe ice cream. It’s delicious. Seriously.)
Whether you’re a long-time Fernet drinker or trying it for the first time, join us on Monday, August 31 for a night with this memorable spirit. Complete details are available on our Facebook invitation page and I’ll post all the recipes here after the event.
