Something of a bartender's handshake. Bittersweet and spirit-forward, and all the better for it. Depending on the time of night and your mood, perhaps add a cube or two of ice.

First impression was a bit too sticky in the mouth. A good stir on ice improved the texture and temperature.

A great no-nonsense drink that permits rye's spiciness and Cynar unique bitterness to shine through for those who are able to appreciate the strong flavors.

We serve this in a Nick and Nora glass which, perhaps, makes it more of a gangster moll's air kiss. A few drops of Boker's Bitters doesn't go astray for us.
