To all my fellow naval aviation alums out there -- and to the rest who find naval aviation distinct:
I have been trying to recreate the famous Fernknocker cocktail, late of Trader Jon's in Pensacola, and later of Bville. I know it contains bourbon, sweet vermouth, Galliano, two cherries, and perhaps other ingredients as well. Can anyone remember the recipe? Thanks.
Sorry, but I almost just asked..what’s a Trader Joe’s fernknocker? they don’t have at my store! lol
Try the food editor at the Penscola newspaper. They like to do those kind of remember when stories and they have good contacts. They might even be able to put you in touch with a former bartender

Stuff on top of stuff. It was an amazing place.
