Cocktail Colin says:
An Argentinian staple, the Fernet con Coca masterfully balances the bold, herbaceous bite of Fernet Branca with the sweet, familiar fizz of cola. This combination harnesses the herbal complexity of the amaro and the soothing, caramel undertones of cola, creating a dynamic, refreshing palate with an intriguing bitter-sweet interplay.

didn't have amaro so I used a dash of bitters instead. Turned out nice! The mix with cola is interesting. Definitely has a unique taste. Will make it again.
