Cynar (70cl, 16.5%)

Cynar is an Italian bitter liqueur made from artichokes and a secret blend of 13 herbs and plant extracts. The recipe dates from the 1950s and has become a classic of Italian aperitivo culture. It contains no artificial colouring and is not chill-filtered. Produced by Campari Group, it is enjoyed as an aperitif or digestif and is a staple in many cocktail classics. It has herbal, artichoke and Mediterranean herb aromas, a bittersweet palate with earthy hazelnut and caramel notes, and a long bitter finish with fresh herbal tones.
