How to use Cynar In Cocktails

[@mohnjayer]

Cynar is phenomenal. Had covid a few weeks ago and when I was getting my taste and smell back Cynar was about the only thing I could taste initially and I drank a ton of it. It was a total lifesaver lol

[@eronackerman565]

When I got the Covid alpha in December 2020 I lost my sense of smell for a good 3-4 months afterwards. Similar to your experience, it changed my drink preferences. I stopped drinking IPAs altogether and drank a lot more malty beers since I couldn't appreciate the hop aromas.

[@Sil3ntKn1ght]

I really like the format and editing in this video

[@Lui_Fern]

Very well done indeed!

[@BelovedNL]

Agree, but don’t we all miss the quibbling between Marius and Leandro?

[@Lui_Fern]

@@BelovedNL a little hahaha. It was always fun to watch 😂

[@mrsmartypants_1]

@@BelovedNL Haven’t checked in in months. Marius is gone?

[@BelovedNL]

@@mrsmartypants_1 no, don’t worry! Just very silent 😉

[@charlesgoodman3358]

I really would like a series to go over the aperitifs what they based on, and how they are used. More please.

[@platinumskies30]

I enjoyed this video! Here's why: - drinks first, talk later - nice progression of cocktails - This'll help me finish up my bottle of cynar! - finally, fancy video editing!

[@LetsTalkDrinks]

I agree

[@MrMustang1116]

I swear this man has to have young kids. I have never heard anything like slappy-poo or crushy-pants except from the nice old ladies at my church who run the child watch. So Tada. My mom knows him as the Slappy-pants guy since I listen while doing dishes.

[@ctwiggs]

I’ve been dreading this one.

[@tyler_kroll1197]

At least he kept my name out! Hahaha

[@MrMoney331]

Damn called you out son!

[@dougbooms5752]

About time...

[@patressakearns4290]

I really like the new set! TEB just gets better and better. Bravo, guys! Making a Pineapple Express right away. (I love Cynar AND Averna.) Keep up the excellent work.

[@CoachVinoLLC]

The horizontal split screen is neat. Cynar is one of those bottles I own that probably has more dust on it than my ceiling fans. I seriously need to rectify that. 🥃

[@vaclavsprta9803]

I recommend the Artichoke Hold, if you've got a bottle of orgeat ready. Leandro has a video for that one too.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

[@CoachVinoLLC]

Thank you gentlemen! I can definitely make this. 🥃

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

If those recipes doesn't make you like Cynar, then this spirit is a lost cause. Great video!

[@ChrisJonesJr]

Yes. Love learning about Amari cocktails.

[@Rocketpeople1975]

Really enjoy videos that feature one ingredient used a few ways. Cheers

[@CopyCatCo]

"Looking at you, Chris Twiggs." Died laughing at that.

[@ctwiggs]

As soon as I saw the topic of the video, I had a foreboding feeling.

[@CopyCatCo]

@@ctwiggs We've bullied you enough about it on the Discord that it almost had to happen if Leandro ever did a video on Cynar.

[@MasterJonberry]

YOU MADE THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS!!! :D It's definitely one of our household's absolute favorites, very excited to see you follow my recommendation from some comment a few months ago. It's great that you actually read and appreciate these comments. Keep doing what you do! Side note: I've been subbing Cynar for Campari in my Negronis lately and it's been life-changing. Highly recommend.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Always take requests for awesome drinks so thanks for that

[@Lui_Fern]

One of my favorites I've seen you use Cynar in was the Rabo De Galo. Such a great cocktail as well!

[@CGold113]

Thanks for this video! I've been wanting to pick up a bottle of Cynar as I start to get more and more into this hobby, but I didn't know what I could use it for. Now I've got some ideas on how to get started!

[@jimmyclements6226]

I was already thinking of picking up a bottle of Cynar. This sealed the deal!

[@charlesgiraffe]

Thank you so, so much for putting the recipe cards within these multi-cocktail videos! Your recipe screenshots are saved in my phone as a mobile recipe book so this is perfect!

[@SuperEmperorNapoleon]

This level of production blurs the line between a KZbin channel and a TV show. It’s great!

[@margefoyle6796]

Fantastic!! I have Cynar and I like it, but I don't use it much, so this is great! Looking forward to similar videos using other amari. I'm going to have a Too Soon tonight, I think...

[@tusty53]

Finally getting some recipes for my Amaro reserve I've brought myself from my travels in Italy

[@iplayrb1]

THE MOTION BLUR WITH THE SHAKE WOW 10/10 a game changer

[@bogdanrylski4330]

Cynar is one of my favorite sipping Amari. I will have to try the bitter Giuseppe.

[@theaterobscura]

Just had a Too Soon a couple weeks ago. Then I had it again as a double. Very accurately titled drink.

[@G4M1N6]

tbh its been a while since the last time a actively watched your videos, but now i realized that the quality has improved, a, lot, the image looks very nice, even a little editing, (shaking actually cracked me up lol) some nice and chilly BG music. keep it up

[@jordan.being.jordan]

I swear we just made a couple of Too Soons (one of our favourite cocktails), sat down in front of the tv, fired up KZbin, and this video was at the top of our recommendations!

[@phobbes4-zero]

One of your best videos yet. Made the Pineapple Express yesterday and it was awesome!!! Looking forward to paring it with some BBQ. Thanks for finally giving me a use for my bottle of Cynar!

[@denisegoldstein7525]

I recently picked up a bottle, except I got the 70 proof. Perfect timing!

[@redpenink12]

Would love to see more of these type of video covering specific bottles of cordials :)

[@charlizamon1]

The editing in this video is pleasing

[@tylerbajada8532]

I love these early videos where Leandro shakes cocktails like a madman

[@SpikeTheBlackCatGaming]

Yes!!!! Cynar!! Thank you for the awesome video!! ❤️❤️ now i'm convinced you know what I buy👀...last week I bought a cynar and looked for good recipes... And now you make this video about cynar... It's a little bit creepy... And not the first time it happens 😁 love you guys 🤗 and thank you again ❤️

[@shetuski]

I picked up Cynar after watching the episode featuring the Detroiter. Now I have more options to try! Thanks. :)

[@fiddler4035]

I LOVE Cynar. Haven't tried the first 2 so I can't wait to try them both, they sound amazing. Big fan of the Artichoke Hold cocktail/video you've done before.

[@micktorrans8123]

Just put in an order for various liquors (June: ill just use what I have. Jan: what's the shipping on that bubble smoke gun?) so these How To Use episodes are awesome

[@michaelgodek]

New set looking great! Glad to see Too Soon

[@trevorrose1]

Love Cynar! Too Soon, one of my fav drinks!

[@ericsauer2862]

This video prompted me to buy a bottle of Cynar which had been intriguing me for some time. Made the Too Soon first. Fantastic. Thanks!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

nice

[@peterpatrician]

These all look superb. I may just make all three today.

[@will5430]

I've had a bottle of cynar sitting on the shelf for a while now. I made the Too Soon tonight. It's great, I like how shaking the orange slices imparts some of the bitter oils that incorporate well in the drink. I imagine I'll be using cynar more, we've been getting into Amari more here lately. I enjoy a nice shot of Montenegro.

[@shethjrebbell]

I love this style of video. A focus on a spirit or liqueur with cocktails to make with it.

[@marvelboy74]

I bought a bottle of Cynar and don't love it. Thank you for this so I can try some different variations.

[@AngryCocktails]

I have a few Amari but no Cynar yet. You've done a good job of selling me on it.

[@thehorseheavenhills]

I used it in the The Detroiter (the IPA sour) and had to scale the amount back- still too bitter! But tasty when tamed.

[@voodoo2882]

the 'too soon' is the bomb....good drink

[@benlittlechilds1192]

digging the new backdrop

[@peterkeleher]

love these collection videos because you can buy one new bottle and be able to find at least one drink to use it to make!

[@willjenkins3251]

Love the new episode format! Also I can tell Marius was having fun with the editing on this one, good stuff haha!

[@dnddmdb642]

Love this episode! And the Bitter Giuseppe is one of my favorite drinks. That tiny bit of lemon does so much work. Also maybe it's just me, but I find Cynar just as sweet as it is bitter.

[@joshcherrett7464]

Cynar, my favorite!

[@joshcherrett7464]

Cynar julep right from the bottle is nice. Best of Both World's is amazing too: www.reddit.com/r/cocktails/comments/d9798y/tried_at_a_local_bar_they_called_it_best_of_both/?

[@FireSpinningTr33]

Love this! Would love this format for a series on other liqueurs and uncommonly used mixing components.

[@satyapurohit6190]

Super! Weekend experiments for sure.

[@SanTM]

While I miss the old studio, or was that you're kitchen?... the editing style and music make this a very soothing and relaxing video. Always look forward to your videos guys!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That was my kitchen. My wife had enough 😂 Bless her she let us do it for three years but she’s happy to have her kitchen back :)

[@Assaf90210]

Too soon is awesome! Very cynar forward and delicious!

[@crazytoot]

Great video. Really liked this format!

[@wuja_piotrek]

So nice you brought up Bitter Giuseppe, I feel it deserves more recognition :D

[@margefoyle6796]

I'm having the Too Soon now. This is a lovely drink. Thank you, Leandro and Marius!

[@uxofoto]

Too soon is one of my favorite cocktail

[@thewerepyreking]

You mentioning the Milk and Honey reminded me that I got Sasha Petraske's book (rip) for christmas. Thanks for recommending it, I've liked it a lot!

[@thewerepyreking]

As an update, the Toon Soon is one of my favorite cocktails from the entire book.

[@urouroniwa]

I don't know if you've noticed, but you have a *lot* of videos :-) It's kind of crazy because as a relative beginner, whenever I have a question about something one of your videos pops up and answers it :-) I've been contemplating picking up some Cynar since it's probably the easiest amaro for me to buy around here. I definitely will now!

[@Nickropolis]

Make sure Marius eats a banana or something, those editing muscles gotta be feelin' it.

[@phattyj811]

Lmao, leandro shaking so hard the whole earth shook! Nice Star Trek effect Marius!

[@cwidd1929]

Y'all have really dialed-in the format and editing since last year. Well done +1

[@jorgeisaacguerrero]

Bitter giusseppe...the missis loved it. Salud🍻

[@wesmadebuilds681]

Thanks for this, just bought my first Cynar bottle. I will be trying one of these this Friday! Only problem is now I have another Bottle on my list to buy!

[@znachkiznachki5352]

I like it in all kinds of applications. But, I usually just make a Cynar and Tonic with a squeeze of lemon. Nice low abv sipper.

[@noinoeso]

Cynar with some San Pellegrino Limonata is an easy and delicious combo

[@NeverEmTyBottle]

The Pineapple Express is a great movie, by association I'm going to assume the Pineapple Express cocktail is also great.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

If you like the movie and drink you should try the marijuana.

[@LetsTalkDrinks]

I love Cynar, great video

[@BrendanCBizot]

Wonderful cocktails! The Too Soon is delicious! I made the Pineapple Express tonight and it was great!

[@crazydubwise]

love cocktails, love amaros and i Love this channel, Maaaaan! Edit: love vermouth,too.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

And we love you! ❤️

[@soCtra]

Thanks for the great channel! I've had a lot of fun learning to make cocktails during the pandemic and this channel has been super helpful. I plan on buying mezcal next to see how I like it. Might just grab a bottle of cynar as well after watching this video. Keep up the great work!

[@MrMoney331]

Pretty sure I have had the Too Soon and it was delicious, am for sure gonna have to try these other two! Thanks!

[@shayelea]

Great timing, I just bought a bottle of Cynar but I can’t say I’m a huge fan. It’s not as bad as Fernet Branca (which tastes the way my canker sore medicine used to taste) but there’s kind of a funk to the bitterness that I’m not loving. Hopefully I’ll find a good way to use it!

[@dravendrinks]

This is the 2nd reason I come here. I have a bottle of cynar but I just kinda look at it and it never pops on my head when I'm trying to make a cocktail but armed with this knowledge just maybe it will. Also Chris got called out!

[@alanchampion]

Great content! I was just looking at my bottle of Cynar and trying to think of what cocktails to make with it. I've got the 70 proof cynar, which I highly recommend!

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

Awesome video!! I love Cynar!! Another one of my favs is a Cynar Martinez... I need Averna NOW!!!!

[@yomo_jomo_16]

I really really like the new set and this new style of editing. Works well with this episode when trying to get through a few cocktails. However, I hope you don't deviate completely from the somewhat unedited versions of the one off cocktails that shows of Leandro's personality so well.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

We won’t :)

[@tobygreen6010]

The “Too soon” was probably one of the finest drinks I’ve ever made myself. Everything worked so perfectly. Thank you. And thank you Sam.

[@jonlau7937]

Awesome! great timing cause i literally made the artichoke hold from your video last night and you were commenting about how people requested - what else we can do with cynar ! happy the repertoire is building. The rabo de gallo was good too!

[@NicholasFiennes]

Blood orange is a great alternative in the Too Soon

[@mikeyworld2008]

Been a while Leandro & Marius, hope you guys are well. Love the new set & your improved production values!! Will certainly horse into the Cynar when dry January is over.. Keep Safe !

[@ENAPO_35]

Thank you for this video. I've been thinking about maybe trying out cynar as the next ingredient, I'll experiment with. Was kind of on the fence, so thank you :)

[@birdrocket]

Big fan of the Bitter Giuseppe

[@PalCabral]

I will make the Bitter Beppe tonight I think. Looks wonderful.

[@bojuka]

Cynar is awesome and I love it.

[@peteyc1705]

The bitter Giuseppe, I do it with 2oz bulliet bourbon 1oz Cynar 1oz vermouth

[@roon1sicunt]

Bitter guissepe is one of my top 5s. It really allows the cynar to shine. I always measure any bitters though (especially orange), rather than risking my inconsistent dashing. Strangely, Too Soon is one of the last drinks I would ever think of having. I find orange in cocktails so overpowering no matter how little is used. I can tell the flavours harmonise nicely in this drink, but the cynar is so overpowered that it feels a waste to me.

[@chipsclassiccocktails1458]

Great information! Thanks

[@Arg3ntis]

I’m still waiting for you to acknowledge that you are *in a new Kitchen* ! 😂 production is on point. Oh, and love the set!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Appreciate the Cynar-focused video. I went through your catalog looking for Cynar videos a few days ago before this video was posted. I just got a bottle of Cynar and I'm excited to use it. Very strange to see you use tweezers for ice instead of your hands. Maybe use tongs with larger ends for better grip on the ice?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yes, we're getting some different ice tongs.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Never too soon mate 😂

[@michaelpieruccini4066]

[@phrides]

The only problem with this video is that I used up my last lemon on a Too Soon last night, so I can't make a Bitter Giuseppe today. Guess I'll have to settle for a Little Italy.

[@theblobfish9614]

Good news, depending on how you count this first swig of the lemon squeeze in the last Cocktail, i would say it was pretty much 15 drops, i counted 14 but that first one was more than one.

[@chelseaharris2509]

Love these recipes but I would have loved to hear you talk more about the spirit itself and it’s purpose in cocktails... as opposed to just some recipes including said spirit.

[@alberto-bates8034]
