Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fratelli Branca Branca Menta Liqueur 60 Proof more minty or more bitter?
It’s both: you get a clear peppermint hit up front, then the natural bitter, herbal backbone associated with Fernet-style liqueur shows up and lingers in a balsamic way. That balance is why many people search for Branca Menta liqueur when they want mint without a candy finish.
What’s the best way to drink Branca Menta?
It shines chilled, on the rocks, or with soda for a refreshing long drink. It also works as an after-dinner pour when you want a cool, herbal finish—great for fans of mint liqueur with a more grown-up edge.
How is Branca Menta connected to Fernet-Branca?
Brancamenta builds from the natural bitter taste of Fernet-Branca and its herbs, then adds peppermint essential oil plus herbs and spices for a fresher profile. If you enjoy Italian herbal spirits, you may also like browsing gin for botanical cocktails or rum for dessert-style mixes.

More from the maker: Bernardino Branca invents Fernet-Branca, a bitter that will make history. From domestic production to the opening of a production facility in Corso di Porta Nuova, Milan is the place where one of the most entrepreneurial adventures is to be born. Fratelli Branca is present in over 160 countries in 5 continents, with a wide distribution network. Fernet-Branca and Brancamenta, brancy, acquaivt, coffee liquor, vermouth, wines and sparkling wines: Branca, always more and more, drives itself towards differentiation of its offers, expanding well over the liquor and aperitif categories, even if the liquor invented by the founder still remains at the basis of the business. Branca celebrates 170 years, marked by a modern interpretation of the old chimney at the production facilities in Via Resegone as a street art work, plus the Rizzoli monograph “Branca, on the wings of excellence” recognized as best publication of the year by the “Osservatorio Monografie Italiane (OMI)”. For the 170 years since the foundation, the Ministery of economic development recognizes Branca’s production excellence by releasing a limited edition stamp.
