Bitter Giuseppe
Cynar Manhattan
2 oz
A bittersweet Italian amaro made from 13 herbs and plants, but predominantly artichoke (Cynara Scolymus). Drunk as an aperitif and digestif, it has an ABV of 16.5%.
1 oz
A fruity, rich and sweet vermouth that dates back to 1786. Thought of as a sweet vermouth with added vanilla; great with whiskey. We treat this like sweet vermouth.
0.25 oz
The most common fruit juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; pure citric acid. Lemon juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
6 dash
A bitters made from Seville oranges, cardamom, caraway seed, coriander and burnt sugar.
1 twist
A yellow citrus fruit. The peel is often used as a garnish while the juice incorporated into the drink for a tart flavor profile (citric acid).
Combine in a mixing glass with ice, stir until chilled. Strain into a double old-fashioned glass over a large cube. Garnish with a lemon twist. #stir #ontherocks
For a 2.0 version, use 0.75oz Punt e Mes in place of the Carpano, and add a pinch of salt. Express 5 lemon peels over the drink, yes 5.
