Notes

Frequently asked questions
  • What does Cynar taste like? Cynar is an approachable liqueur that’s light, vegetal, and bittersweet. The flavor is on the sweeter side and finishes with notes of herbs and spices. Its low alcohol content also prevents you from experiencing that punch that many other liqueurs offer.
  • What can I use instead of rye? Replace the rye with bourbon, dark rum, or brandy.
