Seattle bartender Jen Akin adds amaro to her tiki-style cocktail for added depth. “I love the bittersweet and savory elements of Cynar and I think this cocktail really showcases those elements,” says Akin on her drink, The Turnbuckle. “The nuttiness of the orgeat and the tart fruit from the passionfruit play beautifully with Cynar; [it’s] a perfectly balanced bittersweet and tropical cocktail.”
