Fernet-Branca is an Italian herbal liqueur that falls under the category of amaro, which means “bitter” in Italian. It was invented in Milan in 1845 by Bernardino Branca and is known for its complex flavor profile, derived from the maceration of 27 different herbs, roots, spices, and flowers. Fernet-Branca is often served as a digestif, intended to aid digestion after meals.
