Cynar Cordials
Bittersweet Italian artichoke aperitif, stocked in Commack for spritzes.
The story behind Cynar
Cynar is a bittersweet Italian aperitivo built around artichoke, part of the broader cordial family of herb and botanical liqueurs that Italians have long poured before a meal to wake up the appetite. It drinks dark, vegetal and gently bitter, with a sweetness that rounds the edges. Serve it chilled, over ice, or lengthened with soda.
We keep Cynar here in Commack in the 750mL and 1L bottles. It is a small corner of our cordials shelf, so call ahead at (631) 343-7200 if you want to confirm what is on hand before you drive over.
