I was really surprised by the taste of this cocktail even though I had tried cynar before. The lemon juice and the antica formula transforms to a bitter style cola cocktail, which was not expected. Very approachable, much more so than the negroni!

I'm used to the ratios as listed in the nytimes article from Pascal. Try adding 1/2oz Tanqueray as well, got the idea from Eeyore's Requim.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018337-bitter-giuseppe has a more interesting ratio.

With 6 dashes of orange bitters and 1/4oz lemon juice, I find the NY Times recipe too citrusy. However, thanks to your feedback, I've amended the above to 5ml lemon juice and 3 dashes bitters.

I adjust this slightly with a 1/2 oz of lemon juice instead of a 1/12 oz. It changes the flavour subtlety but feels more balanced to me.

Strange but delightful aperitivo.

The 2,5ml of lemon and the zeist squeeze makes ALL the difference
