Ep. 110: Bensonhurst Cocktail – Cynar, Spritzes, and Bar Menu Secrets
Join Uncle Brad and Jules as they explore the sophisticated world of the Bensonhurst cocktail in this episode of The Art Of Drinking. Uncle Brad kicks things off by sharing his recent Denver adventure and his visit to the iconic Cruise Room, one of his favorite watering holes. He then guides listeners through the step-by-step process of crafting the perfect Bensonhurst, complete with the full recipe so you can recreate this Italian-American gem at home.
Jules puts her own refreshing spin on the classic by introducing the Benny Spritz, a lighter, bubblier variation that's perfect for those who love a good spritz. Uncle Brad dives deep into the cocktail's fascinating history and shines a spotlight on one of its key ingredients—Cynar, the artichoke liqueur that everyone seems to mispronounce (we'll help you get it right!).
The episode wraps up with practical tips from both hosts on how to decode bar menus and recreate those mysterious cocktails you spot when you're out and about. Whether you're a home bartender looking to expand your repertoire or simply curious about the stories behind your favorite drinks, this episode delivers the perfect blend of technique, history, and insider knowledge.
