Rumored it was invented in the 1970s in the province of Cordoba by a famous musician, Oscar Becerra, when as he had no soda water to mix his Fernet, he added Coke.
Its classic presentation consists of cutting the top half of an empty two-liter bottle of Coke with scissors before burning the freshly cut border with a lighter to smooth its sharp edge.
