OK - that's great that SF thinks its the Fernet capitol, which its not - Buenos Aires is the Fernet Capitol, and probably some places I've never been to in Italy - but the green shit or menta, espanol for MENTHOL (mint)?! THAT is SF's best kept secret?! Let's keep it that way... sheesh.
And thanks Pablo Rivas for bringing back the old taste on your recent SF visit. For those of you who have never truly experienced the true BA Fernet experience, it's always to be mixed with Coca Cola - precisely 45-40% Fernet and the rest is Coke, and then lots of ice (and always well carbonated Coke, never from a tap gun or any other flat or watered down source) to give it that nice foamy brown head. In some strange ways it's almost like a root beer float.

took a while to convince me of the virtues of a fernet and coke but once you get it....

WWLD? (what would luis drink?) is a good rule with the fernet.
way to keep SF honest. so strange that fernet is the shot-du-jour but ouzo will be back any day now.
miss you, jefe!!

Wrong, and wrong.
Ljubljana, Slovenia is the Fernet capital of the world. Just ask my liver, and about 2 million Slovenians (the entire population of this tiny country bleeds Fernet.)
If you enjoy the prospect of all your teeth rotting out of your head while simultaneously supporting the indentured servitude of third world factory workers, then yes, drink Coke with your Fernet. If you don't, join other sane people and switch to ginger ale. It's foamy, crisp, and an utter delight to the senses. DUH.
