Fernet Francisco Manzanilla

🌿 Fernet Francisco Manzanilla – California’s Botanical Amaro with Chamomile Elegance

Discover the bold, herbaceous charm of Fernet Francisco Manzanilla, a handcrafted amaro born in the heart of San Francisco’s Bay Area. This locally distilled fernet blends 12 botanicals—including rhubarb, gentian root, cardamom, bay leaves, orange peel, and peppermint—with a signature infusion of German chamomile (manzanilla), creating a uniquely floral and bittersweet profile.

🍃 Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Spearmint, orange rind, and chamomile with earthy undertones
• Palate: Bitter herbs balanced by floral sweetness and subtle spice
• Finish: Dry, tea-like with lingering mint and citrus complexity

Crafted using local grape-based brandy and vapor-infused botanicals, this fernet offers a softer, foggier style than traditional Italian amari—perfect for sipping neat, mixing into cocktails, or pairing with cigars.
