What is the bartender tip for a Ancoradouro?
The Cynar sits below the rum (20 ml to 50 ml) so it adds bitterness without turning into a short stirred drink. The 40 ml of orange juice brings the sweet-tart citrus a highball needs — fresh makes it livelier. Stir rum, amaro, and orange before the soda: Cynar is dense and otherwise sinks. Soda water lengthens and dilutes; too much stirring kills the fizz. Gold rum plays better with the artichoke than a very light white. The peel on top ties the citrus to Cynar's herbal notes.
