Branca Menta Herbal Liqueur is a refreshing mint-forward variation of the legendary Fernet-Branca, crafted in Milan, Italy, by the Branca family. While it shares the same complex base of over 27 herbs and botanicals sourced from around the world, Branca Menta is distinguished by the addition of natural peppermint oil, which gives it a smoother, sweeter, and more approachable profile compared to the intensely bitter Fernet-Branca.
In the glass, it pours a deep mahogany-brown with green highlights. The aroma opens with cooling peppermint layered over herbal spice, licorice, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, it delivers a bold yet balanced mix of refreshing mint, sweet herbs, and earthy bitterness, softened by a rounded sweetness. The finish is long and cooling, leaving behind lingering mint and herbal notes.
Traditionally enjoyed neat or over ice, Branca Menta is also widely used in cocktails for its unique balance of bitterness and minty freshness. It pairs beautifully with cola (a popular serve in Italy and Argentina), adds depth to after-dinner drinks, or can be combined with hot chocolate or coffee for a decadent treat. Its versatile character makes it a bridge between amaro lovers and those seeking a smoother, more refreshing liqueur experience.
