Fernot is a herbal classic — bold, bitter, and ready for ritual.
Serve it straight, over ice, or with soda for a sharp, satisfying pour. Built for craft cocktails, Fernot lends depth, bite, and backbone without the booze. Try it in a highball, an herbal sour, or toss it back in a bartender’s handshake.
Inspired by the classic bouquet of herbs found in traditional fernets, our formulation delivers the complexity a true digestif without the alcohol.
Fernot also intentionally excludes a few historic fernet ingredients — aloe ferox, angelica root, and wormwood — making it a thoughtful option for pregnant people and others who are advised to avoid those botanicals.
Fernot’s approachable herbal profile works beautifully anywhere a classic fernet or bold herbal spirit would, opening the door to inventive cocktails for any bar program or at-home mixologist, whether boozy or booze-free. Experiment and enjoy!
