Berlioni

1 oz dry gin
3/4 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Noilly Prat Dry
orange twist
Stir with ice and strain into a rocks-filled old fashioned glass.
Garnish with a generous orange twist.

I like most of the Negroni variations I try. My favorite so far has
been the Sbagliato (Campari, sweet vermouth, and sparkling wine). It
was made for me by a patient and enthusiastic bartender in Genoa, Italy.
Most of the amari have been too sweet for me lately but the sweetness
in the Cynar is cut by the dry vermouth.

I don't know what this is called. We were at Church and State having
dinner downtown and I asked for a cocktail with Cynar or Fernet in it.
It contains:
Muddled grapes
Lavender syrup
Cynar
Soda water
Definitely worth trying to figure out the ratios some evening.

Church and State by the way was great. Fried pigs ears, roasted
marrow bones, and a couple of really good fish dishes. We'll be back.
