Dope Dinner Series, No. 7 | Fernet Branca

June 7, 2023Brian Hibbard

Our next Dope Dinner is approaching, so mark your calendars for Friday, June 16th! For this round we're changing things up a bit - we're going all spirits, cocktails, and vermouth in honor of Fratelli Branca's visit to the PNW.

Whether you've dipped your toes in this industry or not, Fernet Branca is probably no stranger to you. The timeless Italian Amaro is on every back bar, and has been sipped (or shot) by every industry worker as a deep tradition of camaraderie.

Joining in the fun, Nicola Olianas is coming straight from the distillery in Milan to hang with us ... okay, maybe a few other stops in the USA, nonetheless we're honored.

As the global ambassador for Fratelli Branca, Nicola spreads the gospel of amaro and vermouth to as many as possible. He globe-trots, showing off the portfolio line with tastings and masterclasses, and sharing the beautiful saga of Fratelli Branca. His incredible knack for connecting with all sorts of folks keeps him moving, engaging, and loved by all.

Nicola’s held the global brand ambassador role since 2010, and he actually lives at the Milan distillery. Literally, he lives and breathes Fernet-Branca. His passion for the brand keeps growing as he immerses himself in production, uncovers historical gems, and delves into the roots of this liquid wonder.

Katlin has crafted some killer cocktails utilizing the Branca labels, including Fernet, Carpano, Borghetti and Stravecchio, to name a few.

Ike, Inna, and McKayla have put some seriously Summer lovin’ dishes together that will make you swoon.
