Fernet-Branca Liqueur

Another “is it amaro?” But I care not because I really like it. Stupid bitter. Ever so much mint and maybe licorice but mostly just bitterness that makes you wanna keel over but in the best way. This bitter is a happy field trip.

Drank this after dinner at Roscioli Rome. Intoxicating aromas of menthol and eucalyptus. A new style for me. 39% Alcohol.

Fascinating bitters enjoyed as a digestif

So complex love it or hate it.

Tastier than the Bitter Dram but still too much for me :)

Very earthy, herby, yägermeister-ish

Tastes Iike a grateful dead show from the 80's. Woodsy, smokey and minty

Well that is some interesting stuff! Suggested by Daniel at Long Road and by Alfred in Batman

Fernet Branca is San Francisco's magical elixir of lore. Equal parts hangover prevention and morning after cure; it is an acquired taste but one that every San Franciscan must embrace. The traditional way to consume fernet is neat with a back of ginger beer. Sip fernet, sip ginger, repeat... Ask for a fernet and ginger as you wrap up dinner at any restaurant in SF and you will receive a knowing nod from your server followed quickly by your glass of fernet branca.
