MINTTUFERNET

(Peppermintfernet)

A Finnish bar classic

Hey everyone! Today's cocktail is a short, powerful, robust drink, the Minttufernet. It literally translates to "Peppermintfernet" due to its two ingredients you'll need:

• 2 - 2.5 cl Fernet-Branca (an Italian bitter liqueur)
• 2 - 2.5 cl Cremé de menthe, green
• (1:1 ratio nonetheless)

In a tumbler filled half way with ice, add both ingredients in the glass. Gently stir and serve.

It's quite the cocktail! With a powerful peppermint aroma to it, the sweetness from the menthe goes along nicely with the aromatic and bitterness of Fernet-Branca creating a balanced drink. Moreover, as the ice melts, it mellows the drink even further. One could argue that you could use even 4-4 cl both, but with this one, less is more.

The Minttufernet also warmths one's body quite well :D
