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...
Willett 4-year rye was not the most ideal pairing with the Cynar. Too bitingly bitter in the end. Somehow not sweet enough. 2:1 produced more rye whiskey character, but the Cynar still stunned my tongue... I think I'm just craving a Little Italy. Bit of a teaser, this one.
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.
