If you could only try one of the ‘white’ versions of the negroni, I’d make it this. Brilliant balance of flavours, so simple and retaining the bitter-sweet-herbal kick of a standard negroni, with some added savoury qualities. Had run out of Cocchi Americano so subbed 15 ml Lillet and 7.5 ml Bonal. 5 stars from me!

Did it with Cocchi Americano - excellent. I like it better than original White Negroni
