The story
Argentina drinks more Fernet Branca than any other country on earth, mostly in this exact combination, which turned into a national obsession almost by accident after an Italian export agent pushed hard for the market in the 1980s. Buenos Aires bars pour more of this than almost anything else on a Friday night.
