🥄

Stir Blended Scotch, Scotch, Cynar, Port Wine with ice. Strain into a coupe.

The High Water came about when there was an uncapped bottle of tawny port around. It seemed like a good idea to mix it with Cynar. Unlike sweet vermouth, which tastes bitter, sweet, and spicy, the tawny port had more acidity and a livelier profile.
