Retrying with a spicier cognac and Bitter truth bitters for both orange and aromatic, which seemed to emphasise the herbal qualities of the drink, pleasingly so. Curious to try Strega in place of the yellow chartreuse and see the result.
I was wondering if this might finally convert me to yellow chartreuse, but regrettably not. I added a generous splash of Cocchi Americano to freshen it up a a bit more.
My second Cynar cocktail in as many nights. Really enjoyed this as others have. I am curious to try with a drop of 2% saline; will try and remember to report back!
I have wanted to like this recipe for a long time. Too often I have all but one ingredient in this recipe on my bar, and have mixed many Frankenstein versions of this recipe to much chagrin. This recipe really sings as is. Don’t negotiate with it!
