Looking for a cocktail to help dad feel special on his important day? The Fernet Branca Collins is a perfect cocktail to mix up for dad.
This new twist on the traditional Tom Collins replaces the gin with Fernet Branca. The herbal flavors of Fernet Branca paired with the citrus sweetness of lemon makes for a delicious summertime cocktail sipper for the patio or golf cart.
We’ve shared posts with you previously with Fernet Branca, such as, the La Branca, Fernet and Coke, and the Fernet Hot Toddy (one of Rhonda’s favs). You may remember that Fernet Branca is low in alcohol and high in flavor. Since Fernet Branca is one of Craig’s favorite amaros, we thought it was a perfect time to share the Fernet Branca Collins with you.
To make the Fernet Branca Collins you will need Fernet Branca, fresh squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup and club soda.
