    Hey guys small edit! In the video I said Fernet uses 17% of the world’s Saffron but it’s actually a whopping 75% which is pretty amazing and unbelievable!

    You know what, after finishing this video, I really like Marius' tasting notes.
    We're not all as perceptive and sophisticated as Leandro's palette, and I felt that Marius could be an objective taster that is closer to us, mere mortals. 😅
    That is not to say that Leandro's tasting notes aren't more important to hear in the other videos, because I do look for his professional guidance in understanding the subtle differences in aromas and flavors. But hearing Marius' reactions, PARTICULARLY for Fernet Branca cocktails, was really perfect!
    Thank you both! ❤

    This was a really great video! Ive been racking my brain on how to use fernet branca in a cocktail where the fernet doens not overpower the other ingredients. I tried making the midnight stinger and it was wonderful, i did not have any mint on hand so i used a lemon peel and it really helped bring out the lemon juice in the cocktail. Definitely on my top 5 list of TEB videos. Keep up the videos, you guys are making great content!

  • @yyyyyk
    @yyyyyk 2 місяці тому +1

    I have just made the first one from this video, "Follow the black rabbit", and I really like it!
    I put only 0.5 instead of 0.75 oz Fernet (because Marius made me worried that it will taste too much like cough syrup 😂), but it's really good!!!
    And I squeezed fresh orange juice and lemon juice, which obviously improves it greatly.
    Thank you, Leandro and Marius!

    @Baxter_the_Octopus Місяць тому +1

    To me the black rabbit opens up very citrusy from the gin, orange, and lemon; has a nice warm sweetness from the maple, which transforms into an herbaceous finish which plays well with the orange. The minty nature of the fernet surprisingly doesn’t clash with how orangey the drink is at all, and the maple flavor is hard to pick out from behind the bold fernet. It has me interested in using maple with fernet more often.

    Hi Leandro, I must have noted this recipe when you posted it, but I have just made one for my oldest son and one for myself. It is beautifully refreshing and flavoursome. I used Warners Rhubarb gin in it and that may have enhanced the alround taste.
    Follow the white rabbit will be a repeated drink as long as I have a bottle & half of Fernet Branca left.

    I personally think fernet tastes like listerine. It is good in cocktails but I can totally see that drink tasting like orange cough syrup 😋 I just picked up a bottle a couple days ago and a bottle of chinola. The first cocktail I made with them was delicious. Found it online .75oz chinola, 1 oz Havana club, 1 oz 3 star plantation, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup, 8 mint leaves and a .25 oz float of fernet branca. Smack the mint leaves and throw in a Collins glass. Shake all the rest but the fernet float. Top with lots of ice. It was so good I had 2.

    I really enjoy Fernet Branca! Isn't "Amaro" fabulous by Brad Parsons? It is one of the best books I have read. I love discerning the flavours in Fernet. It took a short while of gradually getting used to the many flavours in this wonderful amaro. Bitter and herbaceous have taken over for my spirits of choice. It is so interesting how the palette evolves! Terrific show Leondro!!

    So I just made follow the black rabbit tonight. My notes: first, I’m note crazy about the color; 2: the drink has a dry honeysuckle flavor with some berry, sour notes. 3 fernet is subdued by the maple syrup, orange and lemon, however it comes out at the back of the palate. Overall, i think it’s unbalanced, but it has very complex flavors. Every sip is different, which I love. It’s an exciting drink, definitely for the more refined palate. Overall - it’s good! I will make it again.

    The most iconic and relevant Fernet cocktail is Fernet and coke or “Fernando”, so much soo, that 80% of the fernet produced in the world is consumed in Argentina, home of the fernet and coke.

    Great video! I’ve been wanting to try Fernet Branca now I have what sounds and looks like really good cocktails to make with it. Thank you!!

    According to an interview with one of the founder's descendant, Fernet Branca consumes not seventeen, but SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of all saffron produced annually. Which is pretty unbelievable when you think about it. I'd love to see the actual numbers.

    Just made the midnight stinger. Intense fernet, but just balanced by the borubon/lemon combo. Very interesting!

    One of my favorite Fernet cocktails was one we had at work: a Fernet Painkiller! It had a bourbon/rye mix, fernet, pineapple juice, OJ, and cream of coconut. The spiciness of the rye and Fernet was mellowed out by the creaminess of the coconut and gave the drink a warm winter kind of flavor and feeling.

      @@jamesstockley3103 if I remember correctly (and it's been a while) it was something along the lines of:
      .75 Oz Rye
      .75 Oz bourbon
      .25 Oz Fernet
      1.25 Oz pineapple juice
      1.25 Oz Fresh OJ
      1.25 Oz house Cream of Coconut

    If you think you don't like Fernet but have the chance to try an artisanal Fernet--anything but the mass produced Branca--go for it. There is a big variety out there, not only in Italy.

    That Harry’s midnight snack sounds amazing! I’m working on a coconut/ cola/ fernet drink myself. I’m not bad ass enough to drink fernet straight, but I do like it in cocktails. I’ll be trying these ones out for sure.

    I use this for a sour stomach and for hangovers. Give it 20 minutes and all stomach issues go away. I do like the roofing tar flavor.

    Recently went to a bar that had a martini with fernet branca. That drink was incredible. From the menu I rememeber it had: gin, sweat vermouth, fernet, orange juice and probably something else too.

    Leandro, how long does Fernet last after being opened? Also, there is a great recipe for a spritz cocktail called Safe Passage (created by Keneniah Bystrom) that calls for Amaro Nardini, which I sub'd with Fernet, served up in a coupe and garnished with Castelvetrano olives:
    1oz Amaro Nardini
    1/4 oz Aperol
    1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
    1/4 oz olive brine
    2 1/2 oz Prosecco

  • @SaroShow
    @SaroShow 3 роки тому

    Fernet is the best digestive Amaro ever.
    In Italy we use to drink it cold from the fridge after lunch or dinner.
    Branca menta it's awesome too

    I would strongly suggest Marius to try the Bottecchia from Kevin Burke of Colt & Gray. I have to keep Fernet out of the house because otherwise I would finish the bottle in like 3 days with this cocktail. lol Great vid!

    Enjoying the rabbit one fighting off a head cold. Might add some allspice dram to the next one and cut back the gin a bit just to mix it up
