Feel compelled to comment on this one. Wow, everything works in perfect harmony. Bravo

Campari is not really my favorite, although it does fare very well in many drinks. This is the first one I tried with Campari being the lead singer. Wow, it really rocked!
4.5/5

Very good balance, nothing gets left behind. Campari forward but it amazingly doesn't overpower. The only problem is I have other cocktails with each of the amaros that I would prefer over the combo, but still a good one to pull out from time to time especially to shock the inexperienced.

My tour goes on: This has always been a little lacking. What made it a 5+ cocktail for me, is the addition of Cynar 70.

Cynar 70 is really good stuff. I highly recommend it. Where the regular Cynar feels a little thin, this one is intense, much deeper and full bodied. Has hints of menthol, licorice and even a fruit stew, wine-like nose. And much more pronounced artichoke aroma. Cough syrup also comes to mind (but in the good ways) ;-)

Also try the Midnight Marauder and the Cin-Cyn with it!

I used a gomme Campari in this and a dry Balthasar Riesling Vermouth (because its what i had} and it worked fine

Definitely Campari-forward, and how could it not be? As others have mentioned, this is a drink that rewards patience. I get herbal notes from the gin and vermouth, and a bit of mint from the Fernet. The one element that does get a bit lost is the Cynar. Overall a very good drink for a specific mood.

Fernet overly strong for me, but maybe I’m particularly responsive to the mintiness in it. Surprisingly well balanced. I’d by tempted to dial it back a little and use a navy strength gin as per the original.

I didn't have Cynar, but substituted Zucca Rabarbaro amaro. A complex cocktail that softened some as it warmed up. Based on the comment on pairing with cheddar, I tried it with a nice alpine cheese and nuts, and it was very good indeed. I'll definitely make again.

An excellent digestif. I can’t believe I had no Cynar in the cabinet tonight (I could swear I bought some last week…), but the sub of Gran Classico didn’t hurt the drink. I will certainly not Pooh-Pooh this cocktail.

Really tasty drink, that demands some patience, do not judge it too fast. After the first bitterness has softened up your tongue it opens up a lot.

Campari/Cap Corse Bianco Quinquina Vermouth/Fernet/Cynar/Sipsmith/Mixed Orange Bitters

Bitter as all hell and still tasty, but it's definitely a lot of campari and campari and maybe that's a little fernet or cynar and then more campari

I like this drink. I have tried bringing the gin up to an ounce and basically doing 1 ounce each of the campari, gin, and vermouth. I have kept the other ingredients at .25 ounce. These ratios help keep the campari from overwhelming the drink for me. Great recipe and love this site!

Another connection to Eeyore would be that his favourite food was thistles. Cynar is named for the artichoke, which is a form of thistle and member of the Cynara genus. Maybe Eeyore would have enjoyed an artichoke now and again. A great cocktail, one of the few with a 9 on our spreadsheet........

A lot of measuring, but well worth the effort. This is a perfect aperitif. Very bittersweet. Went perfect with raw vegetables and a nice sharp cheddar.

I am not a fan of 6-ingredient cocktails (but at 7.5ml per cocktail, it take a while to get through bottles of Cynar and Fernet!) but this one is worth the effort as it is a really nice balance of all those ingredients.
