Fernet Old Fashioned
Let's start the weekend right--with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke (The Cocktail Chronicles). Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! Ooh, really shouldn't have had that second slice of pie. And that last scoop of stuffing? What...
Toronto Cocktail
The Toronto Cocktail pairs the Italian bitter with the crispness of rye whiskey and a little sugar.
Fanciulli Cocktail
The origins of the Fanciulli cocktail are somewhat dim, but the flavor certainly isn't. It's a Manhattan with a bitter menthol backbone.

Pineapple and Fernet Branca in an Old Fashioned? Thought that might get your attention.
Fernet and Coke
An easy going cocktail with an herbal effervescence that'll take you somewhere warmer...
Frisco
The Frisco is the product of a long evolutionary process in 20th century mixology. Originating no later than the early 1930s--that's the earliest reference I've found for it, anyway--the drink crawled out of the cocktail equivalent of the primordial soup as a short, sharp burst of rye whiskey with a slight touch of the French herbal liqueur Benedictine and a twist of lemon peel for excitement.
Old Fashioned Cocktail
The classic Old Fashioned cocktail features little more than whiskey, sugar, and bitters. Done right, it's a perfectly balanced, timeless crowd-pleaser.
Buena Vista Fizz
You wouldn't think that citrus and coffee would go together, but we absolutely love this cocktail from Tradition in San Francisco, which brings together Jameson and chicory-infused rye whiskey.
Old Pal
A cousin to the Boulevardier, balancing whiskey and Campari with dry vermouth.
Frisco Sour
A complex rye cocktail in which Benedictine plays a small but delicious role, the Frisco Sour marries the spiciness of rye to the sweet herbal qualities of Benedictine. But because Benedictine's sweetness can so easily overpower other ingredients, it's held in check here by lemon juice. In this dry, bracing drink, rye takes the forefront.

Old Timber (Rye Cocktail With Fernet)
