White Negroni: A Lighter Twist on a Beloved Cocktail

Tue, Apr 16, 24  |  gin cocktails

The White Negroni is a refreshing and lighter take on the classic Negroni cocktail. It's made with gin, Lillet Blanc, and Suze, a gentian liqueur. The result is a drink that is floral, citrusy, and slightly bitter.

Here's what you'll need to make a White Negroni:

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce Lillet Blanc
  • 1/2 ounce Suze
  • Lemon twist, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Combine gin, Lillet Blanc, and Suze in a mixing glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
  3. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Tips:

  • If you don't have Suze, you can substitute another gentian liqueur, such as Aperol or Campari. However, the flavor of the drink will be slightly different.
  • Lillet Blanc is a type of fortified wine that is similar to dry vermouth. If you can't find Lillet Blanc, you can substitute dry vermouth, but the drink will be a bit drier.
  • The White Negroni is a relatively strong cocktail, so you can adjust the proportions to your taste. If you prefer a less boozy drink, you can use 1 ounce of gin and 3/4 ounce each of Lillet Blanc and Suze.
