The bitters are made from 27 herbs and other ingredients.

The beverage was originally promoted for its health benefits including as a remedy for `` overeating, flatulence, hangovers, gas pains, ( and ) lifting yourself off the floor when you 've mixed oysters and bananas. '' Fernet - Branca has enjoyed a recent growth in popularity in the United States particularly due to an increase in the interest in and mixing / serving of `` vintage '' cocktails. In Argentina and Uruguay, `` Fernet con Coca '' -- Fernet - Branca with Coca - Cola -- is a popular refreshment.
