Cynar's herbal stunner
Kyle Davidson's rule-breaking Violet Hour stunner — white rum and Cynar muddled with mint and stirred (not shaken) with a whisper of green Chartreuse and lime. Herbal, bittersweet, and unlike anything else on the menu.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Light Rum
- 1 oz Cynar
- 1/4 oz Green Chartreuse
- 1/4 oz Demerara Syrup
- 1 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
- 8 leaves Fresh Mint
- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Method
Lightly muddle the mint in a mixing glass to bruise it. Add light rum, Cynar, green Chartreuse, demerara syrup, lime juice, and bitters with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain into an ice-filled old fashioned glass. Garnish with a bouquet of mint sprigs.
