Fernet-Branca Menta, also known as Brancamenta, is an Italian mint amaro that combines Branca's distinctive blend of herbs and spices with the intense freshness of Piedmontese peppermint essential oil. The result is cool, aromatic and bittersweet: unmistakably Fernet, but with a smoother, mint-led character.

For anyone who knows the special place Fernet holds in Argentine culture, this bottle offers a refreshing twist on a familiar ritual. It is made in Italy by Fratelli Branca Distillerie, the historic Milanese producer behind Fernet-Branca, and is bottled at 28% ABV in a 700ml bottle.

Serve it well chilled, pour it over ice, or use it to bring a cooling herbal edge to a simple long drink or cocktail.

What Is Fernet-Branca Menta?

Fernet-Branca Menta is a mint-flavoured Italian herbal liqueur in the amaro family. It was launched by Fratelli Branca Distillerie in 1965, when the company created a more refreshing expression of its famous Fernet style.

The recipe brings together herbs and spices with essential oil from Piedmontese peppermint. That peppermint does not simply add sweetness. It gives Brancamenta its clean aroma, cooling sensation and long mint finish while allowing the underlying bitter herbs and warming spices to remain present.

What Does Fernet-Branca Menta Taste Like?

Expect an immediate burst of fresh peppermint, followed by layers of aromatic herbs, gentle spice and a measured herbal bitterness. Its texture is smooth, while the finish is long, cool and pleasantly bittersweet.

• Aroma: Fresh peppermint, menthol and aromatic herbs
• Taste: Cool mint, bittersweet botanicals and gentle spice
• Finish: Clean, refreshing and lingering
• Style: Italian mint amaro and herbal liqueur

If you enjoy mint liqueurs but want something with greater herbal depth and less one-dimensional sweetness, Fernet-Branca Menta is a very distinctive choice.

How to Serve Fernet-Branca Menta

Well Chilled

Keep the bottle chilled and serve a small measure in a cold glass. This brings the peppermint character forward and gives the liqueur a crisp, clean finish.

Over Ice

Pour over plenty of ice for a slower, softer serve. As the ice melts, the mint, herbs and spice gradually open up.

With Tonic Water

For a simple long drink, pour one part Fernet-Branca Menta over ice and top with approximately three parts tonic water. Add a slice of lemon or a fresh mint leaf if you wish.

After Dinner

Brancamenta is traditionally enjoyed as an after-dinner amaro. Serve it neat and chilled when you want a small, refreshing final drink to share around the table.

In Cocktails

Use a small measure to add cooling peppermint, herbal bitterness and complexity to cocktails. Its bold personality means a little can transform the finished drink.

A Fernet Tradition with an Italian Mint Twist

Fernet is far more than a bottle on a shelf. In Argentina, it is connected with friendship, conversation, music and the moments shared around a table. Brancamenta comes from Italy, but it speaks the same language of ritual and togetherness, with a fresher mint character of its own.

That is why we selected it for Casa Argentina. We are not simply offering another liqueur. We are helping you create the moment around it: the cold glasses, the first surprised reaction, the conversation that continues and the people who make the occasion special.
