Description
Fernet-Branca is a bold Italian amaro with intense bitterness, cooling menthol, dark herbs, saffron-like spice, bark, roots, and a long medicinal finish. Made in Italy from a secret recipe of 27 herbs, roots, and spices, it is one of the most recognizable bottles in the bitter liqueur world. Bottled at 39% ABV, it is powerful enough for cocktails, digestif pours, and small-measure modifiers.
Producer
Fratelli Branca Distillerie began in Milan in 1845 when Bernardino Branca created Fernet-Branca. The recipe remains famously guarded, with the 27-ingredient formula kept in a safe accessible only to the company chairman. That secrecy, along with Fernet-Branca’s global bartender following, has helped make it one of Italy’s most iconic amari.
Cocktail Suggestions
Fernet-Branca is essential in a Hanky Panky with gin and sweet vermouth. Used in a small measure, it adds minty bitterness, dark herbal depth, and a sharp finish that turns the drink from a simple gin-vermouth cocktail into a true classic.
It also works well in a Toronto with rye whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters. Fernet-Branca gives the whiskey cocktail a bitter, cooling edge, while the rye’s spice and the light sweetness keep the drink structured, rich, and balanced.
