Cynar 70 cl, 16.5% ABV - Italian Bitter Artichoke Amaro Liqueur

Product Information

It’s light, bubbly, wonderfully refreshing, and fun, particularly if you squeeze a bit of lemon juice into the glass and top it off with a lemon wedge and a festive straw. Antica Distilleria Quaglia was founded in the late 1800s and, since then, four generations of the Quaglia family have made Piedmontese grappas, vermouths, liqueurs, and bitters. By following the steps in our recipe you will not be able to go wrong and you will get a really good liqueur. Throw an Italian-themed party with Cynar front and center, and raise a glass while spinning some vintage opera or busting out your signature moves to Italo disco faves — while wearing your favorite Italian designer duds, of course. Campari is made from a secret recipe of herbs, spices, and fruit, which gives it a bright red color and a strong, bitter flavor.

Its amber color and its particular aroma derive from the blend of different aromatic herbs, which have made Montenegro one of the best known and most loved Italian digestives both in Italy and abroad. The preparation of homemade egg liqueur is quite easy and, simply by following the recipe, it is possible to obtain results that have nothing to envy of the most famous and expensive preparations on the market. In 1995, the Cynar brand was purchased by the Campari group, which also owns other famous amari brands such as Aperol, Averna, Braulio, and, of course, Campari.Sambuca is a sweet liqueur obtained by infusing star anise and fennel essential oils in water, sugar, and alcohol, which gives it its distinctive flavor and a penetrating but pleasant smell.

For this list, I’ve pulled together 10 of the best, most flavorful Cynar cocktails I’ve ever tried so that I can share them with you guys and spread the wealth. However, even if you don’t go all out and add the additional spooky extras, the drink itself is still fantastic.Myrtle is generally red in color, but there is also a white version made from the plant’s white berries. Like other amari, Cynar does have a bitter taste, but it's also pleasantly saccharine, making it a well-balanced amari. The really cool thing about Cynar (other than the epic artichoke label on its bottle) is that the cynarine takes your tastebuds on a bit of a ride. These sites also offer Cynar 70, the ginger-leading form of amaro, which sits at higher proof of 35% ABV. For instance, it is beautiful in a Cynar Spritz, replacing the common Aperol as a base: Cynar combined with Italian Prosecco and a splash of soda water.
