  • Simple, delicious, decadent. Wonderful taste. Intense with the egg.
  • Delicious. I like Cynar 70 already and the difference in mouth feel from the egg turns it into a caramel frappe with a complex, bitter finish.
  • Made with Cynar 70 and would recommend. Beautiful cappuccino color. Taste is rich and deep but more complex and bitter in taste. Flips aren't usually my thing but I'll make an exception for this one.
  • Sweet and creamy up front, in looks and flavor rather like an iced caramel latte, but with that characteristic Cynar afterbite.

How was this not in the archive yet? A genius drink.

Right? A classic.

Generally attributed to Ben Sandrof at Drink (another bartender claims to have created it there but many feel that wasn't as believable).

Couldn't read the back story on that dead link. Here's our recipe that was made for us in 2008 at another restaurant by a bartender friendly with the Drink team:

  • I didn't find the anise flavors strong enough to balance the others as written. Perhaps my fennel seeds were too old. I ended up adding some Peychauds and then a ds of Absinthe to get it there. With the extra juice a 4.

  • really good with mezcal...feels like it needs something more...tried absinthe, good but not quite
  • Tried this with Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro in place of the Zucca. Pleasant enough. Sweet.
  • Did it with a spicy homemade crème de cacao (from the cocktaildudes). Excellent! — ★★★★★

  • Made with Don Q anejo and Cointreau. Angostura bitters don't lend much bitterness but their spices dominate. Twist is essential.

DrunkLab commented on 3/25/2013:

Made this this evening after Stew Ellington gave it five stars on his book's Facebook page. I liked it, but not as much as other drinks using the rye/Cynar combo. The honey/anise from the Drambuie is very prominent to my palate, and the Dolin blanc lightens the drink and adds subtle herbal notes to go with the Cynar's, which mostly manifests in the bitter-ish aftertaste. I used Rittenhouse and got a lot of dill; I imagine this would only be increased by the original's Bulleit. Very good cocktail for those who want a lighter but still very flavorful rye drink, but I found myself craving the darker notes of a Little Italy or Black Lodge.

  • Delicious even with two subs (necessity rather than by choice) : Yellow chartreuse for Benedictine Regan's for Fee's
  • Accidentally put drambuie instead of Benedictine so added that too and still pretty good. Tried again with Benedictine and didn't like it as much!
  • Tasty for sure, grape is very present on the sip. Much as I love Cocchi Americano, I suspect something more bitter may better fill this role, or I should use Regan's instead of Fee's for the orange bitters!
  • Sophisticated and well-balanced (Vida held in check).
