Amazing! I m from Argentina, and every fernet branca cocktails touches my heart. I challenge you tu make a fernet coke 2.0 as you made with the fluffy mezcal. You are a great inspiration for my job. Thank you so much
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.
JEAN-FELIX!!! Great video!!! I've only been enjoying Fernet for a few months. This cocktail looks wonderful!!! I'm sorting out my mint problems so I WILL be making this!! CHEERS my friend!!
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.
Thank you! I hope you will like the Apricot BLVD. Hopefully the fact we're in France now won't change that feeling you have ;) As I said in the video, feel free to ask whenever you have questions about booze. I'll always do my best to help out. Cheers!
Former Fernet hater here but now I C-R-A-V-E it. I did a total 180 at some point in the last couple years. I think the Industry Sour was my epiphany. I would totally make this right now I just don't have fresh mint on hand.
For real man, I was thinking about sending you a DM to let you know we were posting Sunday this week since most of the time when we post on Suday you are late to the party LOL
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 just made this so I’m holding a frosty glass in one hand while I type with the other - I had my doubts, but its RATHER DELICIOUS - and that’s coming from someone who a) thinks Fernet often tastes like toothpaste, and b) doesn’t like whiskey!
We’ve got this local company here in NYC called Faccia Brutto. They make their own versions of classic Italian spirits, and I recently grabbed a bottle of their “Fernet Pianta.” I just might crack the seal on it to try your recipe.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I’ve had their “Aperitivo,” which lives somewhere between Campari and Aperol. That was fantastic in a Negroni, so I have high hopes for this. Not to worry, I have regular Branca on hand in case I need a do-over 😊
Here in Brazil some (few) bars make CFC, which is equal parts Campari, Fernet and Cynar, it's as bitter as life gets. I don't know it exists anywhere else in the world. Such a shame Fernet is so expensive here.
Woah.... I was not expecting this to be sooooooo boozie..... Looking back, it's a little normal since there are no juices in this one. I must admit I don't like Fernet Branca. I'm not a fan. But also, I must admit this is a pretty good cocktail. Thanx and congrats.....
Note to self: Next time at the supermarket, fetch a bottle of Benedictine. I'm curious how this one fares compared to the last Fernet cocktail from you I tried.
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. ruclips.net/video/2D5vRpHLuaM/видео.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.
@@Mouse2379 this looks intriguing. I have Creme de Menthe and I never use it. It just looks scary. I like the idea of making my own. I'm printing out your recipe. On another note, inspired by TOTR's suggestion to use Fernet to add some extra 'je ne sais quoi' to a drink, I added .25 oz to a Blueberry Gimlet, which all by itself was already delicious, but the Fernet just transformed it into something so fantastic! Here my specs: 2 oz Gin (I used Hendricks Neptunia) 1.5 oz Blueberry Pomegranate juice 1 oz homemade Lime cordial (Jeffrey Morgenthaler version) .25 oz Fernet Yum, YUM, YUMMMMMMM!!!
@@Kiki_Fugawi might borrow that myself. Also, Fernet works great in a grasshopper. I haven’t made one of those since I discovered this but I would bet Branca Mentia would work even better.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks we did a French interview for my bond trading show. It performed very well. But then there is a large fund community in Paris. Keep up your work. Your videos look better than all the others. Nice soft light, no editing fuck ups; you are making the best looking videos by far.
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!
In France, if you don't have an épicerie fine or a friend who own a bar, you can find what you want on "La Maison du Whisky" (no, they don't sell whisky only). Prices can be high, I know, but never forget : alcohol have a Social Security Taxe in France, to fund the fight against alcoholism and every alcohol-link diseases (ah... fckg socialism, uh ?).
I bought all of these bottles (same brand etc) and followed the instructions precisely. I have to say this cocktails tastes absolutely terrible. This is coming from a guy who loves scotch and drinks negronis. It is just not good. I thought I'd love it so much and saved this a few months ago and now wanted to make it for my NYE party. But I cannot offer this bitter drink to anyone. It acutally makes me sick. I cannot believe that anyone in the comments actually made this drink and liked it. Sorry man, I love your channel but this drink is the worst.

Amazing! I m from Argentina, and every fernet branca cocktails touches my heart. I challenge you tu make a fernet coke 2.0 as you made with the fluffy mezcal.
You are a great inspiration for my job. Thank you so much
Have you watched the video from last week? Recipe is the same but presentation is pretty cool
Yes i did, and i made it! You will see the pic soon on instagram😉
@@juanchenlo6685 can’t wait!

there was an ingredient, so I drank it right away.
this is an incredibly good recipe. Thank you at all times
Thanks a lot man! I'm looking forward to seeing it on your channel! Let'S spread the Apricot BLVD love ;)

I love fernet so much it makes me angry that anyone could hate it
Great recipe!
For anyone that wants to get inspired I'm gonna tell you that Fernet makes a very nice rum old-fashioneds (replacing the bitters).
My man! Cheers to that OF!
What rum do you like to use in your OF?
This sounds so good. I love me some apricot!! It's ok to love your own cocktails. 😉😉
😂
JEAN-FELIX!!! Great video!!! I've only been enjoying Fernet for a few months. This cocktail looks wonderful!!! I'm sorting out my mint problems so I WILL be making this!! CHEERS my friend!!
I think you'll be hooked now with this one ;) Cheers mate

Your expressions!!! Love the channel
HAHAHA!!! Thanks Mark! Cheers!
Sounds great. Being a true child of San Francisco, I love Fernet. Will have to try this cocktail soon!
Oh yeah I heard SAN Francisco are huge on Fernet
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Yeah. I hear we're the largest consumers of Fernet Branca in the United States.
I love that you love your own creation.
Former Fernet hater here but now I C-R-A-V-E it. I did a total 180 at some point in the last couple years. I think the Industry Sour was my epiphany.
I would totally make this right now I just don't have fresh mint on hand.
If you don't have the fresh mint, make a stirred down version of it using bourbon instead. It'S also very nice!
I came for the cocktail recipes, and stayed for the Mr. Bean impressions.
wait until you see the video today... there’s more 😂😂😂
Yessssssssssss!!! I'm def number 1!!!

I’d love to try both Fernet side by sife
Macunaíma is another approachable fernet cocktail. More cachaça cocktail with fernet in it. Very good though either way you look at it.
I love Fernet.... I want a video for Fernet lovers :)
Lived in Argentina for a while, and fell in love :)
Blake this is a brilliant idea! I'll do it I promise :) Cheers!
I want to definitely try this!
I have loved Fernet for many years. You seem a little looped in this video!! Lol!! Cheers!! :-)
Love this channel! Cheers I'm going to make this at home and see what other rabbit holes it takes me down 🤘
Thanks Jose! keep us updated on how you like it! Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Will do!
That looks amazing! I love fernet and can't wait to try!
I really hope you will like it as much as I did :) Cheers!
Perfect thanks 👍
I love Fernet as a Julep with just a spoonful of gum syrup, a few fresh mint leaves, maybe a little rye, but a good measure of Fernet.
That's some true Fernet love!
I just made this so I’m holding a frosty glass in one hand while I type with the other - I had my doubts, but its RATHER DELICIOUS - and that’s coming from someone who a) thinks Fernet often tastes like toothpaste, and b) doesn’t like whiskey!

I'm honoured :) I don't know that brand though. I just hope it's not going to be too sweet compared to Fernet. Keep us posted ;) Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I’ve had their “Aperitivo,” which lives somewhere between Campari and Aperol. That was fantastic in a Negroni, so I have high hopes for this. Not to worry, I have regular Branca on hand in case I need a do-over 😊
@@SpektakOne waiting for a review of that Fernet. Love that stuff and would be more than happy to get a bottle of its good
What can I substitute for Fernet-Branca in cocktails?
Here in Brazil some (few) bars make CFC, which is equal parts Campari, Fernet and Cynar, it's as bitter as life gets. I don't know it exists anywhere else in the world. Such a shame Fernet is so expensive here.
That sounds like a challenge 😂
Can’t wait to try!!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts ;) Cheers!
Fernando!
thank you 👌🏼
Thank YOU ;) CHeers!
« If you know, you know » les road trips aux 4 coins de la province, en Ontario et à Plattsburgh pour avoir les bouteilles 😂
HAHAHA!!! Mortel!
My first thought on how to use fernet in cocktails is "in moderation"
and probably to only way not to give up on it at first
Woah.... I was not expecting this to be sooooooo boozie..... Looking back, it's a little normal since there are no juices in this one. I must admit I don't like Fernet Branca. I'm not a fan. But also, I must admit this is a pretty good cocktail. Thanx and congrats.....
Merci Jacques!!! Glad you liked it 😃
J'ai une bouteille de Fernet Branca qui souffre de n'être utilisée. Je vais défénivement essayer ce cocktail. Merci :)
J'espère SINCÈREMENT que ce cocktail va t'aider à apprécier plus le Fernet. Cheers!
Note to self: Next time at the supermarket, fetch a bottle of Benedictine. I'm curious how this one fares compared to the last Fernet cocktail from you I tried.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it 😃
Nice drink! Fernet & Benedictine is a bold choice. Looking forward to trying it.
We’re you trashing the SAQ? 😉
I don't see what you talking about ;)
It's not the bitterness I mind in Fernet, it's the toothpaste taste
I would absolutely love a Fernet toothpaste 😆
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks 🫤😂
Oook!!! It's true 😂 It's very good!! 🤣
HAHAHA!!!
