Notes
Pro Tips
- For a homemade cardamom and clove simple syrup, simmer equal parts water and sugar with a few cardamom pods and whole cloves. Strain and cool before using.
- If you prefer a slightly less bitter drink, reduce the Cynar to a quarter-ounce for a more balanced flavor.
- Chilling the coupe glass beforehand keeps the cocktail cold longer and enhances the sipping experience.
