1.5 oz Cognac (Remy Martin)
.5 oz Cynar
.5 oz sweet vermouth (Dolin)
This is a nice cocktail for showing off Cynar -- you definitely get its vegetal character in the drink, but the sweetness of the vermouth and the cognac balances it out. Regan calls for a twist of lemon; I added in orange bitters instead. Unsurprisingly, Regan knows his cocktails better than I do. Lemon would be better in this than the orange. It's a pretty heavy and boozy cocktail, and some lemon would help brighten it up.
