📜 History
The Cynar Negroni is an equal-parts variation on the classic Negroni that substitutes Cynar for Campari. While the Negroni itself dates to Florence in the early 20th century, the Cynar variation emerged during the craft cocktail renaissance of the 2000s and 2010s, as bartenders began exploring the full breadth of Italian amari as cocktail ingredients. Cynar, created in 1952 and made with artichoke among its 13 botanicals, produces a darker, earthier, and more caramel-tinged Negroni that appeals to those who find Campari's bitterness too sharp.
