The After Dinner Edit

Citrusy, bitter, and reminiscent of cola, this is the cocktail you should be serving your guests this summer.

Here’s what you need:

• 1/2 oz cynar (bitter artichoke amaro)
• 1/2 oz amaro Montenegro (we also like this drink with Amaro Nonino for slightly spicier and citrusy notes)
• 3/4 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed, not from a bottle)
• 3 oz ginger beer

Making the drink:

• Add the Cynar, amaro, and lime juice to a shaker with ice and shake aggressively until shaker is ice cold to the touch (about 20 seconds)
• Pour the chilled mixture into a highball or other glass of your choosing over ice and top with ginger beer.
• Add a lime twist for garnish and enjoy your expertly crafted cocktail.

Bitter and refreshing, this drink makes use of several ingredients that are not common in most home bars but should be – namely Cynar which is fantastic in a variety of cocktails and even just added to Coca Cola for a elevated soda.

Give this one a try, you won’t regret it.
