Cyn-Cyn image

I'll admit it: I have a mild case of Negroni fatigue. It's a good drink, for sure - and when it's beautifully made, I readily succumb to its charms - but its ubiquity in recent years has become a tiny bit tiresome. So I welcome its rarer, lighter cocktail cousin, the Cyn Cyn, in which Cynar - the wonderful, mysterious, arguably underappreciated amaro made with artichoke - replaces Campari. It's a favorite aperitivo of the author Elizabeth Minchilli, whose elegant, straightforward recipe this is.
