Invented in 2019 by Jeremy Oertel at Donna Bar in New York (Brooklyn), I love the Artichoke Hold because it’s a surprising use of Cynar, the artichoke amaro. Most drinks which use it are quite boozy and brooding, whereas this is actually really tropical – as much as it still packs a punch!

It’s a great example of how amari can add a layer of complexity to almost any style of drink, and bartenders love playing with them for an unusual edge where the drink would be a little flat otherwise.

SPECS:
20ml (2/3oz) dark rum
5ml (1/6oz) overproof rum
25ml (5/6oz) Cynar
15ml (1/2oz) elderflower liqueur
