Cynar Toronto
Cynar is a perfect stand-in for Fernet Branca, another darling of the amari, in a Toronto cocktail. Like Fernet, the bitter, vegetal taste of Cynar is a perfect foil for the sweet rye.
Old Timber (Rye Cocktail With Fernet)
If you like Old Fashioneds, you'll enjoy this simple stirred cocktail, created by Gabe Cothes of San Francisco's Salt House. It's deeply woodsy, with added depth and aroma from fernet, an Italian amaro, and orangey triple sec.
Manhattan Cocktail
The stiff, smooth union of whiskey and vermouth is a classic of the cocktail canon.
The Brooklyn Cocktail
A spirited riff on the better-known Manhattan.
Fernet Old Fashioned
Let's start the weekend right--with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke (The Cocktail Chronicles). Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! Ooh, really shouldn't have had that second slice of pie. And that last scoop of stuffing? What...
Midnight Stroll (Rye, Campari, and Ramazzotti Cocktail)
This cocktail starts with an ample pour of rye whiskey, layered with rich red Campari. It's finished with a mix of orange liqueur and cinnamon-y, cardamom-y Amaro Ramazzotti, for a drink that's a bit less fruity than a Boulevardier, with a kick of spice.
Man About Town
This cocktail from Gramercy Tavern in NYC is a take on a Boulevardier (which is like a Negroni, but with bourbon instead of gin). Here, however, spicy rye is the star, complemented by the bittersweet Sicilian amaro, Cynar.
Fanciulli Cocktail
The origins of the Fanciulli cocktail are somewhat dim, but the flavor certainly isn't. It's a Manhattan with a bitter menthol backbone.
Frisco Sour
A complex rye cocktail in which Benedictine plays a small but delicious role, the Frisco Sour marries the spiciness of rye to the sweet herbal qualities of Benedictine. But because Benedictine's sweetness can so easily overpower other ingredients, it's held in check here by lemon juice. In this dry, bracing drink, rye takes the forefront.
Italian Buck (Amaro and Ginger Beer Highball)
This fizzy, spicy, sweet-tart, and bitter drink was created by Jamie Boudreau of Canon in Seattle, and appears in Amaro by Brad Thomas Parsons. It's a little like a bitter, gutsy take on a Dark 'n Stormy, but instead of rum, the drink is made with two bittersweet Italian liqueurs: orangey Montenegro and vegetal Cynar.

Toronto Cocktail

The Toronto Cocktail pairs the Italian bitter with the crispness of rye whiskey and a little sugar.
