Nice added complexity on the Ironbound! Being more widely available, i substituted Ferro China Baliva for Cynar. Lovely quinine bitterness, artichoke has heaps of iron too and, after all, cachaça and Cynar duo bombs big time (Rabo de Galo).

Very pleasing cocktail. It works well for people averse to "too herbal". Served with large cube of water and Angostura ice.
