Presbyterian's Bitter Revival

This cocktail is aptly named as it brings together the bitterness of Cynar, an artichoke liqueur from Italy, with the robustness of Black Grouse scotch and the tanginess of lemon. The addition of a splash of simple syrup and soda water creates a harmonious balance of flavors, resulting in a complex and intensely bitter libation. The grapefruit twist garnish provides a refreshing and aromatic touch to this unique concoction.
