Little Italy

Invented by Audrey Saunders of Pegu Club in New York, this is essentially a Manhattan with Cynar in place of the bitters. Considering my strong feelings for the artichoke-flavored aperitif, that's fine with me.

2 oz Rye
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Cynar

Combine in an ice-filled cocktail glass and stir for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass with a Maraschino cherry in the bottom and garnish with a flamed orange peel.

Enjoy.
