Too obvious? That’s ok because Fernet is a godly drink. I’ve been drinking it since about eight years ago when my sister and I lived on the same block in bedStuy and we’d split most of a bottle on Sunday nights. She worked in the service industry then, where it was popular. It’s very hard to get a hangover from Fernet, which is highly herbal, unless you go absolutely ham. It’s also a good hangover cure in coffee. Pairs well with living your life.

Smooth, complex, and an excellent nightcap. Worth investing in the ingredients to make at home; by the 4th you make you’ll save money vs the fancy cocktail bars.
The fernet isn’t overpowering, but still present enough for fans of the taste, and it only gets better as your ice dilutes.
2oz rye whiskey 1/2oz fernet branca 1/2oz Benedictine D.O.M. 1/6th oz (a dash) of Luxardo maraschino liqueur
Stir with ice and strain over a big cube (the molds for which are $5 online and makes every drink feel fancy) or up in a chilled glass
Cheers!

💍This zesty little book of aphorisms really makes you think about relationships. Namely, the book makes the convincing case indirectly that monogamy is an absurd paradox but there might not be another option. Paradoxes are scary but they are also interesting and sometimes even nice.

🥛I would recommend my raw milk co-op but it’s illegal so I’ll keep it off the internet. This Lindy food is nourishing and delicious. My delivery comes every Wednesday. Raw butter on sourdough, kefir, and the cream is great with coffee. My delivery guy Ahmed is one of my oldest friends in New York and is a universally beloved figure to those who know him.

❤️I’m a writer and my back often hurts from being hunched over the writing machine. This is where the back roller comes in. Couple rolls and your vertebrae pop back into place. It’s good to avoid chronic pain. There are also a couple to stretches I do to that end too.
