A perfect drink as an aperitif or digestive, this refreshing cocktail by Jack Bevan is according to him, a “medicinal spritz”.
It appears in Bevan’s book “A Spirited Guide to Vermouth: An Aromatic Journey with Botanical Notes, Classic Cocktails and Elegant Recipes” (Headline Home) where he compiles cocktail recipes based on vermouth.
The Medicinal Spritz contrasts strongly with the classic Spritz, in part for the Cynar, to which herbal aromas and a rich character to love are added.
Follow these steps to prepare it.
