Fernet Branca Menta Liqueur 750ML

A Refreshing, Menthol-Infused Alpine Phenomenon

Experience an exhilarating twist on an old-world classic with Fernet-Branca Menta Liqueur (often simply called Brancamenta), a spectacularly refreshing amaro that balances fierce botanical depth with a cool, crisp finish. Born in Milan, Italy, during the mid-1960s, this iconic variation was inspired by fashion-forward young drinkers and opera legend Maria Callas, who famously added fresh mint leaves to their standard shots of Fernet-Branca to soften its aggressive bitter edge. The historic Fratelli Branca Distillerie took note and crafted this masterfully balanced, mint-forward alternative that has since built its own massive global following.

The complex soul of Branca Menta begins with the exact same, centuries-old foundational recipe of over 40 secret herbs, roots, and spices used in classic Fernet-Branca—including saffron, myrrh, chamomile, aloe, and gentian. After these precious botanicals undergo a rigorous maceration and spend a full year silently maturing in massive Slavonian oak casks, the master blenders enrich the liquid with high-grade, natural essential oil extracted from world-renowned Piedmontese peppermint. Balanced with an extra touch of pure sugar and brought to a smoother, highly approachable 60 proof, it strips away the aggressive burn of traditional amari without sacrificing structural integrity.

Taste Profile & Mixology

• The Profile: Deep, opaque dark chocolate-brown with subtle emerald-green highlights. It coats the glass with a thick, syrupy body, leading with an instant, tongue-chilling menthol breeze that evolves into a velvety, semi-sweet herbal mid-palate.

• Flavor Highlights: A brilliantly fragrant, crisp nose of fresh spearmint, pine resin, and damp forest floor gives way to a decadent palate reminiscent of a premium dark mint-chocolate cookie, beautifully layered beneath with bittersweet cardamom, licorice, and anise.

• The Finish: Clean, lingering, and remarkably cooling, leaving a soft, pleasant herbal dryness and a crisp wave of peppermint syrup that thoroughly cleanses the palate.

• How to Enjoy: Universally celebrated as an exceptional post-dinner digestif, it is best served as an ice-cold shot straight from the freezer or poured over crushed ice with a fresh mint leaf.

• In the Glass: It serves as a spectacular mixology multi-tool that breathes new life into classic profiles. Swap it into a Black Manhattan to create a Minty Manhattan, splash it with premium tonic water and muddled lime for a refreshing summer spritz, or mix it with cola over ice for a sweeter, mint-forward variation of Argentina's famous Fernet con Coca.
