Fernet-Branca is the OG Italian Amaro—a class of bitter, after dinner drinks intended to aid digestion. Crafted from a secret, 27-ingredient recipe known only to one living soul (seriously, it’s in a safe somewhere in Milan) Fernet-Branca is an almost 200-year old testament to the art of Italian distillation. Well, there’s no denying it’s bitter (that’s the good stuff), but also bold, balanced, minty fresh, and herbally intense. It’ll knock your socks off and blow your hair back at the same time, and when those notes of saffron, rhubarb, gentian, galingale and chamomile kick in… well you might just find yourself coming back for more.
