Cynar

I love Cynar. Put it on ice with a lemon wedge and sip it at a club on the cheap. And it’s made from friggin artichokes!? Mama mia!

Much less basic than Aperol, but similar vibe and same pretty color.

In every bar, but a classic amaro. Tastes great in a mulled wine in winter.

Can’t pass up this funky bottle. All amaros got freaky bottles with funky fonts.

This fernet is a bit smoother than the Branca. Plus it’s local made (in Chicago) and has a nice bottle.

Chefs drink it so I drink it, lol. But really, I love the stuff. It’s fun to make complex deep cocktails with a fernet base.

I love this lil’ square bottle. And those big ol’ red letters. 👌

A standard classic. It’s in most bars. Love these classic ugly labels.

Found this one at a spirits festival in Berlin. It’s a pretty bottle and a nice amaro.
