- Lacking celery bitters I subbed fennel bitters. This is a nice Cynar showcase, a kind of summer version of Search for Delicious. — ★★★★

Do you have a preferred vermouth (or 2) for this one?
Dolin or Noilly Prat.
Make mine Dolin--hands down.Or up, if you prefer. Actually, I'd probably use Dolin blanc. Well, I did. I ate (or drank) my own words. Not bad. A tad sweet, which is what I expected, given I used blanc vermouth, but otherwise a reasonable drink--one that I rated 3.5.
Next time, just to find out how dry vermouth stacks up against blanc vermouth, I'll try it dry and let you know which I like better. I just may be surprised!
Definitely a dryer version is preferred. 1 1/4 gin, 1 dry vermouth and 3/4 cynar 70.
I used 1.5 charred onion Noilly Pratt, .75 cynar 70, .25 cinpatrazzo, and bittermans celery shrub. Excellent!
