R. Jelinek Fernet

R. Jelinek Fernet is a Czech herbal bitter liqueur made to the house's original recipe by the Rudolf Jelínek distillery in Vizovice, a producer whose label dates the family tradition to 1894. The label describes it as a digestive created in the late 19th century, during the Habsburg era, in the region around the spa town of Luhačovice. Classed as a bitter, it is bottled at 38% ABV (76 proof) in a 700ml bottle, carries a kosher symbol and lists added caramel colour. Dark, bittersweet and herb-driven, it sits in the fernet family of after-dinner digestifs and also works as a bracing cocktail modifier.

Serve: Neat and chilled as a digestif, over ice, or with cola or ginger ale.
