With a mojito style base (muddled springs of mint with lemon and sugar) add crushed ice, cynar and top it off with grapefruit juice. It is refreshing as delicious Another way is makin a lime based cocktail. Muddle half a lime with sugar in a boston glass, add 2oz of cynar, 1 oz of a citric flavoured vodka, splash with your favorite aperitiff (jagermeister goes very well) and finish with 1 1/2 oz of grapefruit. This is a cocktail that goes incredibly well with all eggplants dishes. Congrats on the blog!!! Try mixing Cynar with a julep.

How about a "Black Manhattan" with Cynar standing in for the much sweeter Sweet Vermouth? http://off-focus.com/2008/05/21/the-black-manhattan/ International Cynar Day, I love it.

Just a rinse of the glass with Cynar before building the regular Negroni, but it adds a pleasing complexity. (I'll have to fill in my source later; Kevin at O'Reilly's in San Francisco came up with this one I think). We’ve enjoyed a Cynar-washed Negroni.
