Complementary botanicals including rosemary, bay leaf, thyme, marshmallow, gentian, and horehound (a flowering plant in the mint family) bring some bitterness and herbal complexity, while New York state honey and maple syrup add a balancing sweetness. I paired it with a spicy rye whiskey for a delightfully complex Manhattan riff.

Cynar is earthy, intense, subtly sweet, and intriguingly bitter. Like a great character actor with some eccentric qualities who nevertheless occasionally finds his way into leading roles—think Paul Giamatti, who also balances sweet, bitter, and complex—Cynar really can do just about everything.

I also decided to include one of my favorite digestifs — Amaro Averna. whiskey 1/2 oz.

While I have by no means exhausted all the non-alcoholic spirits that mimic their full ABV counterparts, I have yet to find a gin or whiskey that can truly fly solo. They help create bitterness, spice, or both, and force you to enjoy the drink at a slower pace. For me, Tenneyson checks that box. Tenneyson is uniquely different.

This week’s drink is not this year’s Thanksgiving cocktail—there’s a fairly amusing new one next month—but with its nutty, caramel-tinged, almost butterscotch bittersweetness, it could certainly work as a Turkey Day digestif, paired with pumpkin pie. It is a very, very good drink.

It features a blend of alluring botanicals like bitter orange and gentian, complemented by a dose of something unexpected – Marsala wine, added during this aperitif’s aging process.
