Cynarita

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an expressed lemon swath.

Notes

I personally prefer this with a grapefruit swath rather than lemon, but to each their own.

Comments

It's a nice riff on a Negroni with less Campari, which I prefer, and swapping in Cynar for the sweet vermouth. I used Ocho Plata tequila which complimented the bitterness of the Amari & a lemon twist. I'll try the grapefruit twist next time as suggested & since it pairs well with agave.
