An elevated digestif moment For moments when Thanksgiving abundance (and the holiday feasting) become a touch excessive, a refined digestive remedy awaits. Did you know Fernet-Branca is often sipped in small amounts after a meal to settle the stomach and aid digestion? It contains a blend of herbs and spices, such as aloe, gentian, and chamomile, which are believed to stimulate gastric juices and aid the digestive process. For me, it’s a little too bitter to drink by itself, but it works nicely in this drink (recipe by Taste and Tipple) Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Fernet Festivus 1.75 oz rye whiskey .5 oz Fernet-Branca .5 oz homemade gingerbread syrup* 2 dashes Angostura bitters orange peel Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass | add ice and stir several revolutions with a bar spoon until well-chilled | strain into a Nick and Nora glass | express citrus oils from an orange peel onto the surface of the drink | garnish with an orange twist Gingerbread Syrup Recipe by @the.boozy.ginger 1 cup water 1 cup brown sugar 2 cinnamon sticks 1 tsp allspice (whole or ground) 1-3 pieces of 1” sized peeled and cut fresh ginger root 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract after cooling which is what I used) 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg dash of salt In a small saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and salt | bring to a medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves | reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes | let cool and add the vanilla extract | strain out solids and store in a container with a tight lid | refrigerate and use for up to 2 weeks #jillsbarcreations #thanksgiving #fernetbranca #digestif #digestifcocktail #apertifanddigestif #afterdinnerdrinks #festivesips #holidaysips #holidaycocktails #wintercocktails #instacocktails #cheerstotheseason
