Cynar 100!?
Found at bar Panacea in Auckland NZ. Apparently Cynar 70 is impossible to get here so they're making their own. They use a rotary evaporator to separate the alcohol out of Cynar 33 and then recombine the parts in a different ratio to make a 100 proof version. They do the same with Montenegro and use both the Cynar syrup and Monte syrup in zero-proof mocktails.
I had the Artichoke Me Daddy (delicious) and then tried both the 100 and the syrup alone. Both were about what you'd expect. The 100 was just a super hot 33 without the unique flavor profile of 70. 70 is a better sipper IMO but the 100 made a great cocktail base.
Today is my first day in NZ and this is my first cocktail bar, but... highly recommend Panacea.
