Fernet Branca: You Need It!
Question: What alcohol single-handedly dictates the global price of saffron while tasting like Robitussin that was left out in the sun too long?
Answer: It is Fernet Branca, a mysterious Italian Digestivo.
Like most good booze it has secret ingredients, a long and storied past, and until recently it contained opiates. Read this San Francisco Weekly article about Fernet, its horrible taste, amazing curative properties [aphrodisiac], and inexplicable popularity. Then find yourself, despite your best judgment, picking up a bottle at the local boozeria. You will hate it. Then you will love it.
