| Fernet Branca ®
Language: Italian
Description: A strange concoction of herbs, roots and alcohol, sticky, dark brown and bitter originating in 1845 to a secret recipe. The most bitter of the bitters, it is used for treating hangovers and to help with sleep as well as its primary role as a digestif or aperitif. A real witches' brew with a medicinal taste.
