Review:

As the name suggests, this pisco-based, five equal parts, vivid yellow, bittersweet aperitif was inspired by the classic Negroni, along with three of the world's most iconic yellow liqueurs: limoncello, gentian and Chartreuse Jaune.

Not bad. Also not - in any way - a Negroni. Shame on anyone riding a past-its-date Negroni bandwagon claiming otherwise.

For a less sweet take on this Yellow Negroni, try this instead:
• 30 ml Pisco 1615 Mosto Verde Italia
• 20 ml Suze (or Salers for more earthly bitterness)
• 20 ml Cocchi Americano Bianco
• 10 ml Yellow Chartreuse
• 5 ml Limoncello (only for citrus and colour)

All of you who like this cocktail MUST try this four ingredient white Negroni that does include gin.. Similar, but more distinct with a unique qomplexity with the sweetness is toned down by the grapefruit bitters: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/36772/walthalls-white-negroni

Very yellow and just too sweet.
Great taste but couldn't get best the sweet.

Contrary to some others I actually dialled down the suze a bit and preferred that. A very nice and extremely yellow aperitif.

It doesn't look like a negroni at all, but it's very tasty. Cool.

Considering how many ingredients there are it's surprising how mild the cocktail is. The flavours are nice but I would maybe up the pisco and Suze, and lower the bianco and limoncello, to give it more of that Negroni oomph.
