🌿 Brancamenta is an Italian mint herbal bitter liqueur from Fratelli Branca Distillerie, bringing together herbs, spices and peppermint essential oil from Piedmont. This 1L bottle has an alcohol content of 28% ABV. Its defining character is mint-led, with the herbal and spicy qualities that make this style of Italian liqueur distinctive.
🇮🇹 Introduced in 1965, the drink has a history closely associated with cold serving. The famous ice-glass advertising campaign followed in 1971, helping establish a visual identity that remains closely linked to the brand. That heritage offers a useful starting point for enjoying it today: keep the presentation simple and give the mint character room to stand out.
🧊 Serve chilled or over ice in a small glass. For a longer drink, Brancamenta & Soda combines 45ml of the liqueur with ice and a soda top-up. Start with that straightforward combination if you prefer a short ingredient list and an easy preparation.
🍸 For another option, try Mintonic with tonic water, lime, mint and brown sugar. The brand also offers a Mojito variation using 50ml of the liqueur, 20ml lime juice, cane sugar, mint, ice and soda. These recipes provide different ways to work with the same mint-and-herb profile.
🍾 Brancamenta comes in a distinctive green glass bottle. Choose the 1L format for a home bar where one bottle can cover neat serves and several cocktail styles. Measure each pour and enjoy responsibly.
