Did you know that “amaro” is not just an Instagram filter? It’s also an herbal liqueur that is commonly enjoyed as an after-dinner digestif. Cynar is one variety of amaro and is rumored to contain digestive properties, while making foods and drinks taste sweeter! I’m into it. Try it out for yourself with this take on the classic Julep.
Ingredients:
2 oz. Cynar
.5 oz. Simple Syrup
.5 oz. Lemon Juice
.5 oz. Grapefruit juice
2 Dashes Angostura bitters
2 oz. Soda water
12 mint leaves
In a tall glass add mint and all ingredients except soda water and bitters. Gently muddle, add ice then soda and top with bitters.
