3.89 / 5
A Cocktail to Take the Edge Off (meaning indigestion)... Chances are, you still feel full from Christmas – like you ate a balloon and someone keeps inflating it a little more every time you (rightfully) treat yourself to another turkey sandwich. Allow us – or, rather, North Carolina chef Ashley Christensen’s Fox Liquor Bar – to provide some relief. This cocktail contains ginger, which aids digestion, and fernet, a strong, bitter alcoholic spirit that eases the discomfort caused by overindulging.

FAQ's

Occasion suitability icon

What is the ideal occasion for The Late Night Reviver cocktail?

The Late Night Reviver, with its rejuvenating blend of lime juice, gin, Amaro, and ginger syrup, is ideally suited for late evening or after-dinner occasions. Its name suggests it's a great pick-me-up, making it perfect for reviving spirits during late-night gatherings or as a sophisticated nightcap.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another spirit for gin in The Late Night Reviver?

Yes, while gin provides a distinct flavor profile to The Late Night Reviver, you can substitute it with other spirits to suit your taste. Vodka is a popular alternative for those who prefer a more neutral base, while using rum or tequila can offer a more complex and novel twist to the cocktail.

Ingredient specifics icon

What type of Amaro is best suited for The Late Night Reviver?

The Late Night Reviver uses Amaro, an Italian herbal liqueur, to add depth and complexity. While there are many varieties of Amaro, those with a balanced blend of bitterness and sweetness, like Amaro Montenegro or Averna, are particularly well-suited for this cocktail to complement the gin and ginger syrup.

Customization ideas icon

How can I adjust The Late Night Reviver cocktail to make it less sweet?

To make The Late Night Reviver less sweet, you can reduce the amount of ginger syrup or use a less sweet type of Amaro. Alternatively, increasing the lime juice slightly can help balance the sweetness with more acidity, creating a more refreshing cocktail.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of The Late Night Reviver?

Yes, to create a non-alcoholic version of The Late Night Reviver, you can substitute the gin with a non-alcoholic spirit or seedlip. Replace the Amaro with a non-alcoholic bitter or herbal syrup. Adjust the lime juice and ginger syrup ratios to keep the balance of flavors.
