Fernet-Branca {{IPA-it|ferˈnɛt ˈbraŋka|}} is a brand of amaro, or bitter herbal liqueur. Bernardino Branca invented the Fernet-Branca bitter in Milan, Italy, in 1845.[1] The brand soon thereafter gained popularity, leading to the founding of the Fratelli Branca Distillery.

History

Intensely bitter since its inception in 1845, Fernet-Branca has been produced according to the original recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. The bitters are made from 27 herbs and other ingredients. The exact formula is a trade secret known only to the Fernet-Branca president, Niccolò Branca, who personally measures out the aromatics during the production process.

The same manufacturer also offers a sweeter, mint-flavored liqueur under the label Branca Menta.

As a fernet, the beverage has a higher ABV (39%) and lower sugar content than most other amaros.[2]

Consumption

Fernet-Branca is often consumed neat as a digestif, typically served in a cordial glass, or as a mixing component (usually supportive and not as the primary ingredient) in cocktails such as the "Toronto",[3] the "Fanciulli", and the more prolific "Hanky Panky".

The beverage was originally promoted for its health benefits including as a remedy for “overeating, flatulence, hangovers, gas pains, (and) lifting yourself off the floor when you’ve mixed oysters and bananas.”[4]

Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a recent growth in popularity in the United States particularly due to an increase in the interest in mixing/serving of "vintage" cocktails.

In Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay, "Fernet con Coca"—Fernet-Branca with Coca-Cola—is a popular refreshment.[5]

In Finland, specially Lahti, "2cl Fernet" is a popular refreshment.
