There's no such thing as a "gin hangover".

Lime hangover? Yes.

Ice hangover? Of course.

Quinine hangover? Indubitedly.

But gin, sweet sweet gin, that panacea for all that ails one? It is slander and heresy to ascribe anything so base as a hangover to such an elixer.

:D

Is Cynar worse than Suze
Suze has nothing on Cynar.
If I remember Suze at all, it has a similar in taste to Angostura Bitters. I don't know what I would compare Cynar to except bitter Artichokes. I have an idea what jamespowers might compare it to.:eek: :D
Keep an open mind, be brave, and give it a try.:)
Remember despite it's taste,,,it can't kill you.

Try the pickle with Cynar. It couldn't get much worse than straight. ;) :p
I didn't;)

I'll hold the pickle for the grapefruit and spearmint gin I have...still have.*yucky* But then again- why would I do that to the poor pickle?

In comparison to Suze, Angostura Bitters are manna from heaven. :) I've not tasted much that is as bitter as Suze, made from the genitian root, I think.

Although some I know argue that Campari is worse. Nonetheless I shall endeavour to try the Cynar, the artichoke on the label is mighty appealing.
Any recommendations of how to mix? Or should I just knock it back and think of England?
