Man I can tell you there's nothing that scares people more than the idea of Fernet Branca.
A fernet is an amaro a bitter Italian herbal liqueur and Fernet Branca is a specific brand of fernet that is even more bitter than most and is definitely a flavor you have to learn to appreciate. There are other fernets of course and we listed them a while back. But Fernet Branca is the most famous for better or worse and it’s the brand that appears most often in cocktail recipes.
