OUR SPIRITS – Ferino Distillery

OUR SPIRITS

Cannella” is our family name, and the Italian word for cinnamon. Ferino's spirits are inspired by founder Joe Cannella’s formative travel experiences in Sicily. Rooted in Italian tradition, yet uniquely American.

 

Our spirits have been on the market for 5 years now, and we are incredibly excited to have a home of our own to invite you into.

 

CANNELLA CINNAMON CORDIAL

OVERVIEW  

Cannella Cinnamon Cordial is crafted as an after-dinner digestivo, and for craft cocktails.

At less than 6% sugar by volume, Cannella Cinnamon Cordial stands sippable on its own, and with the cleaner, thinner (not syrupy) profile it plays a balanced role in an array of craft cocktails.

WHAT’S IN IT  

In traditional fashion, the ingredients are clean and straightforward. Made with brandy, neutral spirits and spices, including a blend of four unique cinnamon varietals (Ceylon (“true) cinnamon from Sri Lanka, and cassia cinnamon from Vietnam, China and Indonesia).

HOW TO ENJOY  

On the rocks with an orange twist, or try in one of our signature cocktails!

 AMARO CANNELLA

OVERVIEW  Amaro Cannella is a balanced bitter liqueur like no other. Our take on the classic Italian amaro is defined by a gentle anise-forward nose, a complex base of over twenty herbs and botanicals, citrus notes, and a signature bittersweet finish.

At a higher proof and much less sugar than a traditional Italian Amaro (33%abv), it both stands on its own and has great versatility in cocktails.

WHAT’S IN IT  While the formulation is proprietary, we can share that gentian root drives the bitterness, and it includes fennel, coriander, anise and Ceylon (“true”) cinnamon among many other botanicals, roots and spices.

HOW TO ENJOY  On the rocks with a splash of club soda makes for great sipping. We also recommend Amaro Cannella in a Paper Plane, and other classic amaro cocktails. A light pour over ice cream will impress your guests.

 FERNET FERINO

OVERVIEW Fernet Ferino is a fresh take on a classic Italian spirit. Overproofed at 42%, and with under 5% sugar by volume, Fernet Ferino is drier than you might expect, and foregoes the traditional caramel coloring you’ll typically find in most other Fernets. This allows us to better showcase the ingredients and allow them to shine through.

WHAT’S IN IT  While the formulation is proprietary, we can share that among many other botanicals, roots and spices, we are Fernet Ferino includes myrrh, saffron, turmeric and angelica root.

HOW TO ENJOY  On the rocks with a lemon twist makes for great sipping.

CORRETTO FERINO

OVERVIEW With Italian Culture pulsing through both of our veins, Coffeebar and Ferino Distillery decided to team up and pay homage to the afternoon Italian tradition of Caffe Corretto ("corrected coffee").

Said to have originated when coffee tariffs were high and less palatable substitutes were being consumed, the tradition of adding alcohol to your coffee to "correct" the flavor took hold. Today, it is typically a shot of espresso next to a shot of spirits.

With Corretto, we have combined Coffeebar's world class single origin espresso beans with our grape-based brandy to produce a delightful coffee liqueur.

WHAT’S IN IT  We combine Coffeebar's beans with our own brandy. We have used single origin beans from Ethiopia and Guatemala, brought together with organic cane sugar.

HOW TO ENJOY  On the rocks with an orange twist, or with cream.
