"Cynar is a bitter that comes from Italy and is made from a mixture of plants and herbs, including artichoke leaves.
  
This is what makes this sweet alcohol so typical, with an alcohol content of only 16.5%.
  
Perfect as a base for cocktails, it can also be drunk "on the rocks" simply on ice cubes, or in a beer, like Picon.
  
Depending on your own taste, you can drink it as an aperitif or as a digestif."
