Cynar 70 complements the Cocchi Americano nicely here. Was out of blanco tequila so I used a mild on the smoke mezcal, Apaluz with supurb results.

Satisfying drink in which both the tequila and the Cynar shine.

I agree, satisying yes. But I thought the Cocchi Americano was front and center, with the tequila and Cynar providing color. Excellent up drink though.

Ooops, bumped the submit button. Was wondering if you have tried the Cynar 70. It holds it's own well in cocktails where the original might get lost.
