I cannot believe I bought a bottle of this stuff.
Please tell me you SF cats are doing something other than drinking it straight.

Diplomat,
Of course, straight. It is a fine digestif. Hopefully you did not get the Branca Menta, that is vile stuff. Fernet does take a little getting used to, though.
LEO
Sure. You boys want anything?
RUIZ
Yeah, bring us four fernet.
LEO
Four fernet.
RICKY
No. I'll take a strega.
RUIZ
What, [censored]? You drinking
'the witch' after dinner?
RICKY
Yeah. That fernet tastes like tar.
My grandfather tried to give me that.
RUIZ
Some [censored] guineas he sent me.
It's midnight and the [censored]'s
ordering an apertif.
RICKY
It's a digestif.
LEO
Strega's an apertif.
RICKY
Fine. Bring me a Cynar.
RUIZ
Nigger, please. Don't even order
that artichoke [censored]. West side
guineas. Forget the drinks, Leo. We
gotta roll.
Made rules,

Dear Masked Man,
it smells like menthol and tastes like pain. But then again, so did a lot of things when I first tried them.
By the way, good quote.

diablo there is zero reason to use QR when you are the first reply to a thread. there is only one person you could be replying to. it is a huge waste of time to type out the "dear poster" thing.

Str8 is the best. I also like it mixed with soda water.

Voltron,
What is your objection to a simple pleasantry? This forum is already showing a much-needed and appreciated increase in civility and decorum since the introduction of QR.
Wishing you the best,
El Diablo

Boris: I have not tried it w/ soda. I will have to give that a try.
Diplomat: FYI, the traditional Fernet back is a little ginger ale, but we usually skip that.
All: The forum censor is funny.
Good drinking,
El Diablo

Do pleasantries from the users on this forum, 99% of whom you don't know and don't really care about, mean that much to you?

I can see how that would help.
Edit: I just so happen to have some ginger beer in the fridge.
