Last Thursday, I took Piper for her second flu shot. She didn't even cry. Unfortunately, the appointment conflicted with her morning nap so she was pretty tired when we got home.
This weekend, we stayed home from the Women's March because we thought it'd be too tough to go with Piper. While I think that was probably the right decision, it was great to see all the pictures of our friends in D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
The Fernet Flip did not taste anything like I expected. The first flavor I tasted, and it came through strong, was something like creme de menthe, which slowly developed into a muted, though more expected, medicinal and herbal flavor of Fernet. Finally, the vermouth came through with a light, floral finish. The floral-mint combination was strange but tasted much better than it sounds. The Fernet Flip had a nice creamy texture, courtesy of the egg. While the Fernet Flip is not going to go into my regular rotation, I will make it again.
Fernet Flip
- 1 1/2 ounces Fernet Branca
- 1 1/2 sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica)
- 2 dashes chocolate bitters (Fee Brother's)
- 1 egg white
