Ahhhh Fernet y coca! This, asado, and alfajores are the food and beverage memories I will treasure forever. When I asked for it in BsAs though, they knew I had spent a significant amount of time in Córdoba…

when i partied down in Mendoza on Fernet it was just assumed that (for whatever the reason) it was the only AFFORDABLE way to get f**ed up! It’s a particularly horrible hangover, though, and it makes your poop black the next day. sorry if that was too much sharing.

hello there!

we carry three kinds of fernet in our hotel; the Branca brand, the italian Ramazotti, and the 1882 brand from cordoba, argentina.

Although most of our clients use fernet with coke, we use it too in our pastry kitchen; chocolate truffles with fernet. It accentuated the bitter chocolate taste.

have a nice day

@Diego Definitely! A quick search on Bevmo.com shows that they ship to WI and there are a few Fernet Brancas in stock if you can’t find any in local stores!

Hey! I’m from Rafaela, Santa Fe in Argentina and now I’m living for a while in La Crosse, WI… The first thing that I thought of when coming was… I got to bring with me a couple of bottles of fernet!!! I wouldn’t survive without it!!! and of course I did, hahahaha!

Nothing better that an asado with friends and big jars of fernet with coca cola to share… That’s what is all about!!!

i’m from argentina…… from santa fe is next to cordoba…. and north to buenos aires……… and we drink a lot of fernet with coke……. we said… is not a party without fernet!!!!!! the correct way to mix is like somebody said 30% fernet and 70% coke……….. and it’s really good to drink a little zip when your tummy is upset…………. the old dairy farm people say the best is drink just a little bit of fernet with the worm really fresh cow milk….. but…. i’ve never tried this…… jajaja…… ok….. now i live in oakdale Ca…. and i really miss branca!!!!!!!! but in san frnacisco i can find it ……. but is 50 box per bottle and in argetnina is only 15 bos per bottle…….. ahhhhh……. and the branca menta is almos the same but with mint flavor, and in argetina is mixed with sprite 30% branca menta 70% sprite……..

[...] apparently enough mythic power to enthrall entire urban subcultures. Witness the phenomenon in both Argentina, the home of “Fernet con Coca” – a drink so beloved that a song was written for it – [...]

My dad is from switzerland and has always used a shot or two straight to settle an upset stomach. Seriously I always think I’m gonna heave when I even smell, let alone taste it. But, it always has worked. Never knew it helped with colds! It must be the herbs.

Hi Jo, I’ll have to try mixing with hot water next time I’m sick!

Haven’t tried that combo Ian but sounds interesting.

Downed so much of this in Cordoba(where the drink the most).Right the first one is a little strange,but after that it’s addictive.They also mix it with cinzano and lemon juice at the Sunday Asado!
