Cynar is a bitter liqueur made from 13 herbs and roots, including artichokes, dandelion, gentian, and sarsaparilla. It is produced in Italy and has been around since the late 1800s. The exact recipe for Cynar is not publicly known, but it is believed to contain a blend of these ingredients:

* Dandelion
* Gentian
* Sarsaparilla
* Cardamom
* Citrus peel (orange and lemon)
* Irish moss
* Licorice root

Cynar has a deep amber color and a complex, bitter flavor profile that is often described as earthy, herbaceous, and slightly sweet. It is traditionally served as a digestif after meals, but it can also be used in cocktails or enjoyed on its own over ice.

Cynar has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique flavor and versatility in mixology. It is often used in classic cocktails like the Negroni and the Manhattan, as well as in modern creations like the Cynar Spritz and the Cynar Sour.
