I am drinking a "fernet con coca" right now. I have had a bottle of Fernet for years, and never liked it by itself. It never occured to me to pair it with Coke! While it is not my favorite drink of all time, it is very good, and I can see why this would be an excellent beverage with a cigar. I am not feeling a smoke this evening, but I will probably be trying a "fernet con coca" with a stogie tomorrow night!
