Although most Americans weren't sure what to make of it, Fernet became a rite of passage among bartenders. If a bartender poured a shot for a customer (usually another bartender) and another for themselves, it was called a \"bartender's handshake.\" They began to recognize the spirit as eminently mixable, its bitter notes conspiring to balance sweetness, providing the energy or \"bite\" which causes a cocktail to sing, and informing many new mixed drinks. Offered here is an eclectic collection of 88 drink recipes crafted with Fernet-Branca, inspired by pre- and post-Prohibition classics to inventive notions developed in progressive cocktail programs. With this volume as trusted accomplice, the reader is invited to share in the sensory pleasures of Italy's legendary elixir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43680862797959,"sku":"9781542723749","price":20.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c2QgEkgs9p9781542723749.webp?v=1766804114","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/bartenders-handshake-the-cult-of-fernet-branca-with-cocktail-recipes-and-lore-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
