Haha. The fernet trauma is real!

I don’t really do any cocktails with it but when you feel a cold coming on, a couple drops in some water or half a shot right down the gullet does wonders.

I think the word vegetal is one of the least appetizing words to describe something.

1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz Luxardo cherry juice
Instead of a 1/2 ounce of Luxardo cherry juice I’ve been doing a 1/4 oz of the juice and then a 1/4 oz of Luxardo cherry liquor. 2 cherries for garnish. Less sweet. And you can’t make this with typical grocery store maraschino cherrys, they don’t cut it at all. I haven’t had Luxardo brand cherries for a while but I found some Sausalito brand that are a good substitute.
I don’t really like anything cherry, but if I did I bet this is awesome
