In this crazy take on the classic Alexander, we’re replacing the gin with Cynar – the wonderfully bitter Amaro made with artichokes. One of the favorites of our crazy takes on the Alexander, this cocktail is wonderful! The Cynar provides a grand bitter backbone which marries well with the cocoa and cream, providing subtle notes of coffee and cocoa. This gem is a fun dessert cocktail or a go-to concoction whenever you’re in the mood for something interesting and creamy. If you enjoy this, be sure to check out our other crazy Alexanders. Cheers!
