Fernet Con Coca, The Taste of Argentina! | How to Drink

Today I travel to South America to try various configurations of Fernet Con Coca, the National Drink of Argentina!
Fernet Con Coca, or Fernandito is the national drink of Argentina. While Fernet has been hugely popular in Argentina since coming over from Italy with a huge wave of immigration in the first years of the turn of the 20th century, it remained a largely buttoned up after dinner affair until sometime in the 1970's when Fernet was first mixed with Coca Cola in Cordoba Province. After remaining something of a College Town night life staple for a couple of decades, Branca (the owner of Fernet Branca) took notice and investigated. Discovering the local phenomena Branca turned out a massive ad campaign celebrating the combination of Fernet and Coca Cola and turned it into a nationwide sensation. Argentina now consumes 75% of ALL Fernet Branca globally.

I bought a bottle last night to try a drink from the book “Booze and Vinyl 2” without realizing it has a 2 week shelf life once opened. I was frustrated at first but then I thought “I bet Greg made a video about this!” So glad to learn about this combo! I like how the bitterness helps tame the sweetness of the coke. It’s noon and I’m enjoying a 70/30 at the moment! Hunkered down in a snowstorm in the northwest, time to try some new drinks… Also, I’m glad I typed this comment so I could listen to the bonus content at the end. You crack me up!

[@m1st87]

Nice to see someone actually informed make a video about fernet, most usually have their facts way off, but you sir made us proud. Just some comments: - The drink is served cold. As cold as possible actually. Usually this includes ice, the coke is cold off the fridge, and, personally, I put the fernet in the freezer (most people don't but I find it better this way). - The foam isn't necessarily desired, it's like the foam on the beer. Some people like it, some don't. The usual household preparation on a 2L cut coke bottle has a 20% foam volume which is inevitable but not actually desired, it's a byproduct of pouring over plastic instead of crystal. Very slow pouring of the coke, and trying to hit the ice brings down the foam significantly. - YES the glass bottle coke is the best and the most sought after when preparing a Fernet. - Usual ratio is 70/30, which is optimized for flavor. Anything over that is usually just to get drunk faster, and doesn't involve enjoying the drink. - YES it is definitely an acquired taste. Start with low fernet percenteges and slowly build up to the 70/30 while you are still trying it out, this will make it way more enjoyable. - I've never seen someone drink fernet with lime. I might try it out, but intuition and popular belief seems to be that it's no good. Branca makes a mint flavored fernet which isn't as popular as regular fernet, it's usually mixed with sprite or 7up and it probably makes more sense to add lime to that one instead of the classic fernet with coke. I personally never tried mint fernet.

Hi! I am from Argentina. I was born and raised in Cordoba but currently live in Buenos Aires. Fernet was brought by Italian immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century. Traditionally it was taken with sparkling water and was taken by the elderly in bars and cafes. Legend says that sometime in the late 1980s a grandfather was with his grandson in a bar when the boy mistakenly put Coca Cola in his grandfather's glass that contained a little of fernet. Very common mistake since the color of both drinks is similar at first view. The boy drinks and feels a strange taste and tells his grandfather. Grandpa drinks and likes it. This discovery reaches the ears of the bartender and the rest is history.

[@GeeBanter]

This episode in particular makes me think that Greg has actually perfected ice and wants us to point it out in the comments. Thank you for every performance.

[@Rustybits]

Fun fact: As an Argentinean who moved out to London i can say that our Fernet tastes completely different to the original Italian formula. I would say the Argentinean one is more bitter and the mint tones in there (if any) are barely noticeable, but it makes a much better combination with Coke, where as Italian Fernet is very smooth and has a strong mint flavour

[@joaquinrolfo74]

This is true. And I don´t know why there wasn´t any foam. It makes as much foam as a poorly poured beer

[@cocktailpost]

absolutely right.

[@Olderaccount17]

Argentinean here, I'm gonna add a few notes with timestamps for anyone interested in this drink. First things first though, I really enjoyed enjoyed this video! Learned a lot about Fernet! I'd already figured we're the country that drinks the most fernet in the world, but *75%* ?? That's insane. Any way, let's get to it: 2:15 Indeed, a large chunk of the Argentinean population comes from Italian lineage, myself included. 3:33 The name "Fernandito" stems from taking "Fernet" and converting it to "Fernando," a common Spanish name here in Argentina. "Fernandito" would be sort of an endearing way of calling someone named "Fernando." It would literally translate to "Little Fernando." But, to make it easier to understand, Fernet→Fernando→Fernandito would be like taking Whisky and converting it to Whisky→William→Willie ("Pour me a Willie," though I get the feeling there could be some unintended sexual innuendo there) 4:50 That juggernaut you see there is what we call a "Viajero" which literally means "Traveler." This is because, although it's common at parties and hangouts, we also prepare that thing and drink it *while on our way* to a party or nightclub, hence its name. If you prepare one at parties, it's a great way to start a conversation or get to know other people, as you simply toss a bunch of straws in it and go around the party encouraging everyone to drink from it, whether it's just one person or several at the time. 5:20 Yup, that's about right. 70-30 is the way to go, especially if it's your first time drinking it. It's a strong, bitter drink, and I would say most of its appeal comes from its sort-of-herbal smell and taste (once mixed with Coke. DO NOT smell it pure because it will completely put you off of trying it.) I do agree it's an acquired taste and would bet a year's salary that the vast majority of people who drink fernet DID NOT like it the first time they had it (or, at the very least, didn't know how to feel about it). You do have to get used to it but, once you do, it'll become one of your go-to drinks for sure. I sure as shit could go for one right now, and it's barely half-past noon. 7:30 Indeed, there is a mint-flavored version of fernet. I would say most people usually have it with Sprite instead of Coke. 7:12 We absolutely *DO NOT* keep fernet in the freezer. That's a big no-no. I don't think most people even store it in the fridge. It's my understanding that chilling any sort of spirits or liquors in the fridge does nothing, but don't quote me on that. Besides, the green Branca bottle, with that beautiful, classy label, is a nice bottle to have on display on your shelf. 7:50 I personally don't enjoy it 50-50, but I don't doubt that there are those who have it that way, specially in Cordoba (I'm not from that province/state, by the way). 9:46 Agree, don't put anything else on it. Just fernet, Coke and ice. 10:22 I literally *yelled* "Noooooo!" when I heard 90% fernet. Nah man, just no. Never heard of anyone having it that way either. Only seen a few people have it as shots , but I only ever saw that in the US. It's weird actually; I've been fortunante enough to work in Vail, CO. during the Winter season on four separate occassions as part of a Work & Travel exchange program. There was this bar, The George, where I would go AT LEAST 4 times a week (God, I miss the hell out of that place). Anyway, while it would seem that most Americans had never even heard of the thing, there were some who would have it as a shot, which seemed awfully strange to me; us Argentineans NEVER have fernet that way. Just the thought of it made me shrug my face at how hideous it probably tasted. Which I eventually had to do this one time I lost a game of UNO. At first I was like, "Whatever. If these pansy-ass Americans who don't drink (or like) fernet nearly as much as we do can have it as a shot, it should be a piece of cake for a rugged palate like mine." Boy, was I wrong about that! I started drinking the shot and to this day I swear my esophagus just quit and contracted halfway through. The drink started pouring out of the sides of my mouth. That had never happened to me with ANY shot. It literally felt like my organism was rejecting it. Decidedly. Don't remember if I got to finish the damn thing but, if I did, it certainly wasn't in one sip. Most hideous thing I've ever drank. First and last time I ever did that. Don't know how there are people out there who have the stomach for that. Other than that, if you're sitting at the bar in the US and order a Fernet with Coke, it's a very good conversation starter, as most people will never have even seen it and will ask you what it is. The foam alone will catch their attention. This was specially true in a place like Vail, where there were so many tourists from all over The States and the world. ""Fun"" fact: it's the drink Alfred tells Bruce he used to have in Italy in "The Dark Knight Rises." They would serve it to him in sort of a small chalice (the amount of a shot) but have it in sips. Must be some sort of Italian or old-man thing. Probably using it the old-fashioned way as mentioned at 1:50 Also, the type of drink is just "Fernet." Branca is the name of the most popular brand, which is also one of the best (and many Argentineans will fight you to the death if your dare question it's THE best). My personal favorite brand of fernet is called "Nero 53," which is only a few years old (less than 10, I think). Really good stuff.

Here in Córdoba there is another Fernet brand, called Fernet Beney. Few people know about it, it's NOT branca, but is stronger and more herb-flavoured, if that's a word lol.

You want to have a lot of ice since It tastes better when it is really cold and the water from the ice will help make it nicer for the uninitiated :P Use smaller ice cubes, you want them to melt faster. 90210 is an aberration don't do that! haha.

Funny story. One of my mates moved to England (we're argies), back when he was 16. He came to Argentina aged 18 as a visit, and was like "hey I never experienced Argentinian nightlife. Let's go to the club". Here we have what we call a "previa", making reference to a pre party meeting, with the objective of hanging out, drinking together, and getting to the club already drunk. So, we start never have I ever with the host of the previa, some chicks, and some other guys. I, being a soft drinker, had one glass of 80/20, then went for a beer. My friend who moved to England stuck to a 60/40. After him having tree glasses of that thing, we decided we should go to the club. He went back to England without experiencing argentinian nightlife due to this. Was it because he got too drunk for the club? Absolutely not. He was having a blast in there. Best party he has been to. No, he didn't experience argentinian nightlife because, to quote what he told me the next day, "I remember getting into the car to leave the previa and head to the club, I remember getting off the car at the club, and I remember getting off a different car at your place, and nothing in between." PS: We only hit him with a 60/40 because he never had a Fernet con Coca before and we were actively seeking to fuck him up. We were successful.

Argentinian here, who also lived 18 years in the states. There's something that you should keep in mind when trying "that Fernet". That bottle is the original recipe, it says Made in Italy, and the taste is, like you said, minty. The Fernet that us (argentinian) drink is Made in Argentina, and absolutely lacks of that minty taste. I don't know the reason why, some say it's because the demand is so high that the distillery doesn't really gives the time needed for the drink to really ripe. The Made in Italy Fernet taste to me like the Fernet Menta sold in Argentina, which is the minty version of the drink (not popular at all) The Branca brand, owner of Fernet, won't allow argentinian made Fernet in the US market. So the only way to taste the flavor that made this drink so popular here would be by getting an argentinian friend to let you try a little bit of his personal, secret, hardly smuggled stash (good luck with that)

[@agustinrobirosa918]

The best answer so far, Italian Fernet it's not the same as argie's. Ours works better with coca cola, while the other it's actually better for digestive shot.

[@tomasmercado8202]

Completamente de acuerdo, estuve en europa y compré fernet allá, tiene otro sabor

This is 100% accurate. I've been to US a couple times, and Fernet sold there was minty. I took 4 bottles to my Argentinian friends living in the states. The difference is in the minty flavor.

This is totally true. Also lived in the US for a few years, italian fernet is way more minty. You need to get a bottle from argentina and try the drink again.

It's a big province that is mostly known by their agricultural produccion, beautifull sights and their damms. Córdoba city, the province's capital has a big Neighborhood called Nueva Córdoba that is mostly populated by university students that comes from all parts of the country and the region. - To get the nice foam you just pour the coke righ over the Fernet, never on the ice and you fill it until the foam i'ts begining to grow out of the glass, then you "sign" it drawing an "8" with more Fernet so the foam gets compact. - The right pronuciation is like you'd say "Fair Net" but it's oftenly pornounced without the "T" at all, mostly in Córdoba, but in the rest of the country as well. Never say "Fernai", they'll laugh at you for hours. - Got to try also argentine wines and beers!

Just made some fernet con coca with 1-2 proportions, added some lemon juice, a tiny bit of rich simple syrup, 2-3 dashes of Ango on top and I think it might become one of my go-to drinks now. Really refreshing, well-rounded and balanced, would recommend if you don't mind a bit of bitterness in your drink
