Bitter Drinks - Fernet Branca vs Branca Menta | ITALIAN AMARO

Looking for bitter drinks? Fernet Branca and Branca Menta are two Italian Amaro Liqueurs that are a minty assault on the senses. Also known as the "bartender's handshake", Fernet is real serious in the world of bitter spirits. Branca Menta is far more approachable, and personally, I find it delicious!!

Be sure to check out the below videos from Steve the Bartender for some great cocktails with both of these spirits:
