Outlaw Cynar

Shannon Mustipher’s Outlaw was born from a “Manhattan template based on a funky Jamaican rum” that she’s been tinkering with for over a decade. The higher-proof Cynar 70 served as the key to solving this fresh take on the bitter and stirred Manhattan variations born in the late 2000s. “It’s a new way of looking at a drink that you already know and love,” says Mustipher.
