If you haven't tried it, id recommend "Growing Old and Dying Happy Is a Hope, Not an Inevitability" as a contender for your list of best Cynar drinks

2oz cynar (regular, not 70)
1 oz. rye whiskey
3-5 lemon peels
5-7 drops of 4:1 saline

Thanks, Nicola. That's a great call. On Difford's Guide, it's just named "Too Soon".
