While the Veda on its own would make for a unique digestif, it also lends well to cocktails. I paired it with a spicy rye whiskey for a delightfully complex Manhattan riff. The shiitake aroma is front and center on the nose, but the bittersweet liqueur is smooth and balanced, with a gently savory finish akin to a dashi broth.

To me, the essential Cynar cocktails are the Little Italy , which is a Cynar-ified Manhattan that pairs it with rye whiskey and sweet vermouth, and the Mezcal Negroni with Cynar , which simply swaps out Campari and replaces it with the artichoke bottle. Or make a Cynar Sazerac , which is just a Sazerac, but with Cynar instead of rye.

ABOUT Coffee and whiskey are two of my favorite things. The base spirit for this cocktail is a whiskey. While most espresso martinis are made with vodka, I decided to swap it out with whiskey as it pairs better with the coffee notes. 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. Balanced with sweetness from perhaps citrus, honey, or other plants, you have a complex, sometimes bold, aperitivo or digestif that will both surprise and delight you.

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.
