We had boiled globe artichokes and tapenade as a starter tonight, and with them came the challenge of what to drink? Artichokes are notorious for killing wines, but we found the answer in this cocktail, which includes Cynar, made from....globe artichokes! We love Italian
amare and bitters, the best known of which being Campari (to which I am probably addicted) and I realise they are an acquired taste, but I love them. This was an excellent combination of 2 parts gin, 1 part Cynar and 3/4 part Noilly Prat white dry Vermouth. Stirred and served over ice with a lemon twist, this was a delicious bitter drink that echoed the artichokes perfectly.
