📜 History

The Cynar Sour applies the classic sour template to Cynar, the beloved Italian amaro made from artichoke leaf and twelve other botanicals. The sour format reveals new dimensions of the liqueur's flavor, softening the bitterness while amplifying its caramel and herbal complexity. Dry-shaking with egg white produces a rich, stable foam that makes the drink as visually striking as it is delicious.
