San Francisco Treat

Sam Levy, Fern Bar | Sebastopol, CA

Sam Levy, owner of the Fern Bar in Sebastopol, California, created this drink as the ultimate nightcap when he was the bar manager at the Michelin three-starred Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena, California. Combine and stir one ounce each of Fernet-Branca, Averna and Dolin Blanc vermouth over ice and serve neat in a chilled double Old-Fashioned glass. Garnish with a flamed orange zest if you’re feeling ambitious.
