White, Light, Bitter Delight

Calling all Negroni lovers and flavor adventurers! The classic Negroni is a delicious drink, but what if we told you there's a lighter, brighter twist waiting to be discovered? Enter the White Negroni, a modern spin on the Italian icon that's perfect for warm weather and those who crave a touch of floral flair.

Instead of the deep red of Campari, the White Negroni embraces a French influence with Suze, a bittersweet liqueur. This swaps the Campari's bold bitterness for a more subtle, earthy note, while Lillet Blanc, a dry white vermouth, replaces the sweetness of red vermouth. The result? A refreshingly complex cocktail that's drier, lighter, and infused with delicate floral and citrus notes.

Intrigued? It gets even better! The White Negroni is just as easy to make as its classic counterpart. So ditch the complicated cocktails and embrace this elegant yet approachable twist. In just a few stirs, you'll be sipping on a sunshine-colored masterpiece that's perfect for any occasion. Let's get mixing!

Ingredients

1½ fluid ounce gin
½ fluid ounce Suze gentian liqueur
1 fluid ounce Lillet blanc
Lemon peel, for garnish
Ice
Ice, large cube

Measurement Conversions: 1 fl oz = 1 shot = 30ml

How To Make

In a mixing glass, add ice, gin, Suze gentian liqueur and Lillet blanc. Stir until well chilled.
Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
Express the oil of a lemon peel by twisting over the glass, then garnish by dropping into the glass.

Notes

Suze is a bright yellow French liqueur flavored with gentian root. Gentian is a flowering plant with large roots that impart a distinctively bitter, earthy taste. Suze blends this bitterness with other botanicals and a touch of sweetness for a complex bittersweet flavor profile.
Lillet Blanc is a French apéritif wine. Unlike some liqueurs that are very sweet, Lillet Blanc is known for being lighter and drier. It's made with a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, along with fruit infusions, and aged in oak barrels. This process gives it a subtle sweetness with hints of citrus, honey, and white flowers, all wrapped up in a light and refreshing body.
