Cocktail Description
Forget everything you thought you knew about a martini—the Fernet Troppo delivers a bold Italian slap to your taste buds that will forever change your perception of this classic cocktail format.
This sophisticated sipper combines the rich, wine-based sweetness of Martini & Rossi Rosso with the intensely herbal, mentholated bite of Fernet-Branca, creating a complex interplay between bitter and sweet that evolves with each sip. Your first taste brings forward dark caramel and vanilla notes from the vermouth, quickly followed by Fernet's distinctive minty, eucalyptus punch and subtle hints of saffron. Perfect for after-dinner drinking when you want something more contemplative than dessert, this cocktail shines on cool evenings or whenever you need something to settle a full stomach. The Fernet Troppo is surprisingly approachable to make—just a simple stir with ice and strain—making it an ideal introduction to the world of amaro-forward cocktails. Its robust flavor profile pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or hearty Italian fare featuring tomato-based sauces.
