I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not a fan of gentian root (which is why I dislike Campari, but do like some other bitter red Italian liqueurs), but I actually like this. I made another version with bitter Bianco and I think I like it even better as it wonderfully accentuates the sweetness of the old Tom gin.

Wonderful with the Cocchi, and don’t forget the lemon and saline solution/salt.

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

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
