Fernet- Branca, a liqueur from Italy is a welcome relief this holiday season. Why so, you may ask.? Packed with a proprietary blend of herbs and spices within a base of wine, its a digestif; an antidote to a big ( or should we say, massive) holiday meal.
Disciples claim it works. It must be so because it asserts to be a leading digestif.
Some drink it straight ,but let it be known it's an acquired taste, something like bitters. Others mix it with Coke. Others, even still mix it with Red Bull.
What ever your fancy is, the taste is distinctively different. A mixture of herbs and spices like myrrh, chamomile, peppermint oil and other good stuff.
I'ts good for you-somewhat like a tonic. Born as a medicine it has certain healing properties and may even cure hangovers. Good to know!
Fernet-Branca is a Jack of all trades when it comes to uses. Keep plenty on hand this holiday season so you can merrily eat and drink you way through 2011.
Find Fernet-Branca at any local New Jersey Wine and Spirits Retailer near you
