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

Product Information

Cynar’s earthy and herbal notes make it a nuanced choice for cocktail enthusiasts who enjoy a bittersweet taste. One of the most popular artichoke bitters is Amaru Sabbenerica, made with artichoke, bay leaf, lemon and other herbs.

Dark brown in colour and bitter-sweet in flavour Cynar is often mixed with orange juice or used instead of Campari in a version of the Negroni cocktail. Its bold flavor makes tasting it an explosive and satisfying experience for the taste buds and it is a refreshing liqueur, perfect for summer. The liqueur owes part of its popularity to its early advertising campaigns in Italy, featuring the famous actor Ernesto Calindri and the slogan ‘Cynar, against the attrition of modern life’. One such cocktail includes Cynar and soda (mixed with soda water and lemon or orange slice, or with cola, eggnog, tonic water, milk, or bitter lemon soda). Cynar is an apéritif (low sugar, low alcohol, meant to stimulate appetite), and can be consumed by itself, or in a number of cocktails.Combine 30ml whiskey, 30ml Cynar, 15ml Grand Marnier, 10ml simple syrup, 1 whole egg, and a dash or two of bitters in a shaker without ice.

Created in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers in Bassano del Grappa (in Veneto), Aperol is an alcoholic aperitif that is immediately recognizable thanks to its red-orange color and quite bitter taste. Bartenders also love to use it as a unique ingredient to create aromatic and deeply flavorful cocktails that venture off the beaten path. It’s a boldly bitter Italian liqueur that deserves a place of honor in any trend-forward liquor cabinet. We can say that it is more of a liqueur cream and that it is perfect for everyone, even those who do not like stronger liqueurs and bitters. The Vecchio Amaro del Capo contains the active ingredients of many herbs, flowers, fruits, and roots of the land of Calabria, to help digestion, including bitter orange, sweet orange, licorice, mandarin, chamomile, and juniper.Once served in aristocratic circles, today the recipe for rosolio is known almost everywhere and is also prepared at home. For those who love the flavors of Sicily and want to enjoy a full-bodied liqueur with a strong and intense taste, prickly pear liqueur is undoubtedly an excellent choice! Usually the “ sabbenerica” was answered “ to you and your friends” or more rarely “ santu e riccu” ( May you be holy and rich), as a form of wishing you a wonderful day. Turiddu is also the name we have given to the protagonist of all our labels, and it is a reinterpretation of a typical Sicilian name, Salvatore.

Be sure to take this step seriously, as thoroughly muddling the berries is what gives the cocktail its rich, tangy taste. Infusion: 13 aromatic herbs and plants are combined with alcohol and water in automatic macerators and continuously mixed to release the aromas and colors.

In the wide range of typical products and food and wine traditions of Sicily, how can we not mention liqueur and amaro of Sicily? If you’re planning to pour this delightful variation on the well-loved Manhattan cocktail, you better be prepared to slip into a whole Italian vibe that will likely include plenty of chef-like hand gestures, knee slaps, and big, demonstrative forehead kisses. It is usually consumed with Cachaça and sweet vermouth in one of the more traditional drinks of Brazil named rabo de galo, a rough translation of the word cocktail. I get it: I may not be as interesting as a cable TV premium package, but I’ve got something to say too.
