This is a straightforward two-ingredient drink that highlights the intense herbal character of Fernet Branca. The bitter, anise-forward spirit is balanced by the sweetness and carbonation of cola. It is best served over ice in a rocks glass. The result is a potent, aromatic sipper that appeals to those who enjoy strong, bitter aperitifs. It is not a sweet cocktail, so expect a robust, medicinal finish. Keep it simple and let the ingredients speak for themselves.
