mr. hyde

1 oz Amaro Nardini
1 oz Cynar
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/8 oz Demerara Syrup
1 Strawberry
1 sprig Mint
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Muddle the strawberry, add the rest of the ingredients, shake with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an additional mint sprig.Two Fridays ago, I was listening to Vinepair's Cocktail College where host Tim McKirdy was interviewing Kyle Davidson about the Art of Choke that he created at the Violet Hour in Chicago, and Kyle mentioned his user name of 'Sasquatch' on the Kindred Cocktails database. There, I found the Mr. Hyde that Kyle created at the Violet Hour and had uploaded to the database himself in 2010. In the glass, Mr. Hyde donated a strawberry and mint aroma. Next, caramel, berry, and grape notes on the sip transformed into herbal flavors melding into a dry strawberry one on the swallow with a mint finish.
