Cynar
Cynar is an Italian herbal liqueur renowned for its distinctive, bittersweet flavor profile, which is primarily derived from artichokes along with a blend of 13 other herbs and botanicals. First introduced in 1952, Cynar belongs to the category of amari, a group of bitter liqueurs traditionally enjoyed as digestifs, but it has also gained popularity as a versatile ingredient in cocktails. The name "Cynar" is derived from Cynara scolymus, the botanical name for the artichoke, which plays a central role in its unique flavor.
Cynar is characterized by its deep amber color and complex taste, which balances earthy bitterness with subtle sweetness and herbal notes. While the artichoke is the star ingredient, the liqueur also contains a variety of other herbs that contribute to its layered flavors, which can include hints of caramel, orange peel, and spices. With a relatively low alcohol content of 16.5%, Cynar is lighter than many other amari, making it a versatile option for both sipping neat, over ice, or as part of a mixed drink.
Cynar’s versatility has made it a favorite in the world of cocktails, especially in classic bitter-forward drinks. It pairs well with soda water or tonic for a refreshing aperitif, or it can be used as a bittering agent in cocktails like the Cynar Spritz or Negroni variations. Whether enjoyed before or after a meal, Cynar offers a distinctive and rich flavor experience that appeals to those who enjoy herbal liqueurs with a slightly bitter edge.
