Fernet-Branca was created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca in Milan where it is still made today. It is made from a proprietary recipe of 27 different herbs, roots, and spices only some of which are disclosed. They include: aloe ferox, bitter orange, chamomile, cardamom, cinchona bark, cinnamon, galangal, gentian, iris, laurel, laraha, linden, myrrh, zedoary and saffron. It is aged in 15,000-20,000 liter Slovenian oak vats for at least a year. Due to the popularity of the brand in Argentina, a second distillery located outside of Buenos Aires was founded in 1941. Fernet-Branca & Coke is how it is most consumed there.

Last year I tried drinking Underberg Soda as last drink at bar. and I become fun of it. But its taste is too bitter. So this time I asked the bartender to recommend me much light and 'easy to drink' cocktail that has similar taste. and bartender recommended me this cocktail, Fernet-Branca & Soda. I become fun of this. Its bitter and fresh taste is brilliant. This one is very good for last drink at bar because you feel refreshed by drinking this.

When I feel I am drunk, I sometimes have this at last drink at bar. I can feel I am refreshed very well.

This bitter cocktail is my favorite. After drinking too much, this is very good! I can feel I am refreshed! Have you ever try this wonderful bitter cocktail? If "No", try this as "last drink" at bar.
