Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com Today we’re making one of my earliest original cocktails: the Semester Abroad. This spirit-forward whiskey cocktail came together years ago during a February we’d renamed Fernet-bruary behind the bar, which makes now the perfect time to bring it back. If you like stirred whiskey cocktails like a Manhattan or Toronto, this one's for you. It’s a simple three-ingredient build of rye whiskey, orange curaçao, and Fernet-Branca, but the result is rich and aromatic. If you're new to Fernet, this is the best places to start. Cheers!
