History:
Fernandito cocktail emerged as a variation of the classic Mojito and Cuba Libre. The cocktail’s name suggests a connection to the Italian amaro Fernet Branca, which is often enjoyed as a digestif. Fernandito was first crafted by an unknown bartender seeking to incorporate Fernet Branca into a refreshing cocktail, adding Coke to provide a natural complement to its herbal complexity. Over time, the drink gained popularity through word of mouth by appearing on cocktail menus in bars and restaurants, eventually becoming a beloved classic cocktail enjoyed by many.
Flavor:
Fernandito cocktail presents a delightful blend of refreshing sweetness and subtle bitterness, underscored by gentle herbal and citrus undertones. Its texture is velvety smooth, offering a satisfying drinking experience, while its lingering aftertaste leaves a pleasant and memorable impression on the palate.
