WITH FERNET-BRANCA

One spirit. Four courses. A secret recipe guarded since 1845.

Born in Milan and made from 27 herbs, roots, and spices gathered from around the world, Fernet-Branca has endured for generations as one of Italy’s boldest and most unmistakable amari. Along the way, it became something more: a cult favorite behind the bar and the unofficial handshake shared among bartenders.

For one night, we’re taking Fernet out of the shot glass and putting it at the center of the table. Chef Bijan and the Porterhouse bar team have created a four-course tasting experience exploring Fernet’s bitter, botanical, earthy, and mentholated character through food and cocktails.
