i used vording's genever. it was a little ovrepowreing for me. not bad though. but the OG is the fucking shit so no need to change it really.

The perfect bridge to a Whiskey based Negroni.

Well, what can you say? Nearly as good as the original? A negroni for people who don’t like the juniper in gin? It will be a good way to use up the genever, where (so far) I haven’t found a “drink this again” option.
