Charente White Negroni
A riff on the White Negroni with the brandy replacing half of the gin. Fittingly, 'Charente' references the Cognac area of France

John, Chris - I used Salers, Cocchi Americano, Pierre Ferrand Ambre, and Bombay Sapphire... Salers is not usually my preference over Suze (not in stock at home), but I found it worked well enough with the other elements. Tasty, but the Salers is prominent... Lillet would clearly make a large difference, and I wish I still had my bottle on hand... Chris, the Cognac is easily the most noticeable difference maker in the mix... Some tweaks yet to be made. Gentian (not helped by the Cocchi) does not need to be so dominant here.

Thanks for your thoughts! Not sure if you gentlemen have seen the just-published-here cocktail The Gentleman. Not a million miles from some of these ingredients… could well interest you both…. Also the oldfield looks 🧐 intriguing!

John, thanks for mentioning that drink. I had not seen it. But I just added it to the wish list. Cheers!
