Fernet-Branca was created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca, and the recipe remains a precious family secret to this day. The secret formula of Fernet-Branca, passed down through the Branca family from father to son for 5 generations, has allowed it to maintain a consistently high level of quality over the years. The 27 herbs it contains come from various countries spread across 4 continents: South Africa, China, France, India, Sri Lanka, Italy, and Argentina, to name a few.

FERNET-BRANCA: BRANCAMILANO

BRANCAMILANO is the latest creation from Branca, the result of the extraordinary teamwork led by Branca's bartenders, who engage daily with the tastes and trends of Milan's dynamic locales and vibrant cultural life.

Synthesizing Milan in a single cocktail was not easy.

Branca's bartenders submitted various recipes to the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, a world-renowned institution, which approached them with a technical study, including sensory tests and cocktail evaluations.

Only three recipes passed the test and faced a final examination by the tasting committee, honored by the presence of Mayor Sala. The choice fell on BRANCAMILANO.

The new Branca signature drink, with a heart composed of the company's three iconic products: 1.5 cl Fernet-Branca, 6 cl Antica Formula, and 1.5 cl Stravecchio Branca, is poised to become the quintessential Milanese aperitif.

INGREDIENTS:

• Gremolada of orange, lemon, peppermint
• 6 cl Antica Formula Carpano
• 1.5 cl Fernet-Branca
• 1.5 cl Stravecchio Branca

PREPARATION:

Pour the gremolada on the bottom, then add the three liquids and ice and mix with the stirrer. Add more ice if needed.
