The “Cyn” in this drink refers to Cynar, an Italian bitter made from artichokes (although another mild amaro could be substituted in a pinch). This drink nods to the classic Cin-Cyn (equal parts Cynar, sweet vermouth, gin), which in turn nods to the Negroni. Yet, this drink deserves to stand alone as more than just another Negroni knock-off; the Scotch whisky provides plenty of oomph and personality.
