Why This Recipe Works
We love a piña colada as much as the next person, but sometimes we’re in the mood for something less sweet. Stormy Seas is essentially what you get if a piña colada ditched the rum and replaced it with a lower-alcohol, bitter amaro, Cynar. This is a fine example of a drink that liberates amari from the land of stirred cocktails—and, as in the Jungle Bird, the amaro gets along quite well with the flavors of tropical drinks.
