The Cyn Cyn Punch is another cocktail I created inspired by my first novel THE LOVE FOOL, and was first printed in the Book Club Edition released in August 2020.
This cocktail is a refreshing sipper that my character Teddy would have probably ordered on a warm autumn afternoon in Rome.
It’s perfect for serving at a group gathering when discussing the antics my foolish characters get into in THE LOVE FOOL.
The recipe below is for a single serving. For a large batch, use 1 part Cynar, 1 part lemon juice, and 2 parts club soda (or to your liking). It’s an easy mix and can be built in the glass (or pitcher) in which it is served.

![Memories: [Sept 2016 - Pienza, Italy] - I finally got to witness the famous Gioco di Cacio al Fuso in Pienza, Tuscany. A traditional game where four teams, dressed in medieval garb, compete using Pienza’s famous pecorino cheese. Contestants kneel on the floor and roll their wheel of pecorino to bring it as close as possible to an upright spindle. If you’re in Tuscany the first week of September, make the effort to visit the quaint and beautiful town, located south of Siena in the postcard picturesque area of Val d’Orcia. ✈️ I miss travel.
