Fernet and Coke | Serious Eats : Recipes – On my first visit to Freda’s (now The Barrie), I asked the bearded hipster bartender to make me some sort of “digestive” (as we had just come from a big dinner). This is what he gave me. It was incredibly weird, like drinking Coke mixed with medicine, but I still finished the whole thing.
