Fernet-Branca Menta is the minty sibling of the legendary Fernet-Branca — the OG Italian amaro formulated in Milan in 1845 by the self-taught herbalist Bernardino Branca. Menta adds a generous dose of fresh mint to the same secret 27-ingredient recipe of herbs, roots, and spices, creating a liqueur that is at once intensely cooling and deeply herbal — the bittersweet backbone softened by a wave of peppermint.
Tasting Notes: The palate senses the depth of flavor from the botanical herbs and spices and begins on its own to recompose the structure of the Fernet-Branca taste; the nose picks up the myrrh and its unexpected softness, while the bitter taste becomes sophisticated, tannic, and pleasantly balsamic — all wrapped in fresh mint.
How to Use: The Milanese ritual — served ice-cold from the freezer as a digestivo — or a minty-bitter twist in cocktails.
