  • Delicious. A strong Cynar cocktail that's not too sweet.
  • The gin and the "darker" ingredients didn't entirely resolve for me. I used Tanqueray; maybe a different gin would be more successful.

This was the first drink I ever had at Death and Co in 2008. I ordered a "cheenartown" and the waitress said "I think it's sighnartown." But we were all kids back then!

Phil Ward is a genius at making drinks, but so terrible when it comes to naming them. I do have to salute him for his love of cheesy dad puns, as here.

Curated; added cherry garnish per D&C book.
