Bitter Giuseppe
Cynar's stirred star
Stephen Cole's rule-breaking Violet Hour creation — Cynar's bittersweet artichoke depth stirred (yes, stirred, despite the lemon juice) with rich sweet vermouth and a lift of orange bitters. Drinks like a sophisticated bitter cola.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cynar
- 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
- 1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 3 dashes Orange Bitters
Method
Add Cynar, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, and orange bitters to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain over a large ice cube into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an expressed lemon twist.
