Argentina's beloved national drink—bitter Fernet-Branca mellowed with cola over ice, a digestif transformed into a casual refresher.

A rich, velvety nightcap that applies the colonial flip template to Fernet-Branca, taming its bold herbal bitterness with egg and cream.

Two of Italy's finest amari -- Cynar and Amaro Montenegro -- join forces with fresh lime and spicy ginger beer in this long, refreshing take on the classic buck format. Bittersweet, lively, and endlessly sippable.

The ultimate bartender's handshake: equal parts Fernet-Branca and Campari, stirred cold and served as a bold two-ingredient digestif.
