Cynar is an Italian bitter liqueur crafted from a blend of plants and herbs, notably featuring artichoke leaves. This imparts a distinctive character to this mildly alcoholic (16.5%) and richly flavored spirit, characterized by its dark amber hue. Ideal as a cocktail base, it can be enjoyed “on the rocks” over ice or mixed with beer, reminiscent of the classic Picon. Whether sipped as an aperitif or digestif, its herbal foundation makes it an excellent choice for the latter.
