Christmas is here and... I'll be honest, I'm not feeling it. I'd much rather be somewhere else, preferably somewhere warmer, drier, and where I can get a Fernet con Coca on a beach. Since that's not happening though, I'll be combining a staple of Yuletide joy and my favorite amaro into the Argentina-inspired Fernet Nog!

Fernet Nog (The Best Way):
- 1 oz Fernet Branca
- 1 oz Heavy Cream
- 1 oz Whole Milk
- 1/2 oz Bonded Bourbon (Evan Williams White Label)
- 1/2 oz Cognac/ Brandy (Pierre Ferrand Cru de Cognac)
- 1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
- Nutmeg, To Taste
- Cinnamon, To Taste
- Pinch of Salt
- Few Drops Vanilla Extract (Optional)
- 2 - 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters (Optional)
Combine ingredients into shaker and dry shake with a spring for agitation. Shake again with ice for 10 - 12 seconds. Serve over ice in highball glass garnished with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a bunch of mint.

Fernet Nog (The Quick Way):
- 1 oz Fernet Branca
- 1/2 oz Bonded Bourbon (Evan Williams White Label)
- 1/2 oz Cognac (Pierre Ferrand Cru de Cognac)
- 1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
- 2 oz Preferred RTD Eggnog [NOTE: Use something with strong vanilla and spice flavors, as we add none of our own here]
- 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters [NOTE: Making this addition last minute and it isn't optional. Bolsters the spice flavors and helps balance sweetness a little better]
- Pinch of Salt
Combine ingredients into cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 10 - 12 seconds. Serve in a snifter over fresh ice. Garnish with nutmeg, cinnamon, and a bunch of mint.
