Brown has his own version of the drink he calls "The Relic" rather than an espresso martini. It has a mix of espresso, coffee liqueur, and Fernet-Branca. { "selector": "[data-custom-animation-id=\"fly-in-right-0-0.25\"]", "--x": "calc(100 * 1vw + width())", "--y": "0", "animations": [ { "duration": "0s", "keyframes": [ {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"}, {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"} ] }, { "delay": "0s", "duration": "0.25s", "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)", "keyframes": [ {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"}, {"transform": "translate(0, 0)"} ] } ] } { "selector": "[data-custom-animation-id=\"fly-in-left-0.2-0.25\"]", "--x": "calc(-100 * 1vw - width())", "--y": "0", "animations": [ { "duration": "0.2s", "keyframes": [ {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"}, {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"} ] }, { "delay": "0.2s", "duration": "0.25s", "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)", "keyframes": [ {"transform": "translate(var(--x), var(--y))"}, {"transform": "translate(0, 0)"} ] } ] } Read Full Story

Spicy, herbal, and bitter, Fernet-Branca is a mixture of 27 different herbs and spices.
