About this product
A legendary Italian herbal liqueur with an icy twist.
Branca Menta isn’t your average digestif. It’s a vibrant, invigorating take on the world-famous Fernet Branca—infused with intense peppermint, more sweetness, and the same legendary mix of over 27 alpine herbs and roots. First launched in the 1960s to appeal to a younger, livelier audience, it’s since carved out a cult following across the globe.
Now increasingly popular in Ireland, Branca Menta is being rediscovered by bartenders and adventurous drinkers who crave something bold, bittersweet, and bracingly fresh. Whether you're sipping it over ice or shaking it into a cocktail, it hits all the right notes—cool, complex, and utterly unforgettable.
Why we love it:
Branca Menta is bold, fresh, and totally original. For those in Ireland looking to expand beyond traditional liqueurs, it offers a rush of flavour and a cooling finish that stands out in any season. Whether you’re a fan of herbal bitters or just want something different, this one delivers big character—and even bigger chill.

About the producer
Fratelli Branca Distillerie, the Milanese masterminds behind Fernet Branca, introduced Branca Menta as a more accessible take on their iconic amaro. With its peppermint punch and timeless herbal base, it became an instant hit. Crafted to this day by the same family-run distillery, Branca Menta speaks to a new generation of Irish drinkers who want a spirit that’s as layered and expressive as they are.
