White Negroni
Wayne Collins, this drink's creator, originally used equal parts as is usual for a classic Negroni and after trying various other formulations, I've found...

I agree with a number of others here - reducing the Suze a tad makes the drink more balanced. So the ration became 1 gin/ 1 Cocchi Americano/ .75 Suze. I had no grapefruit twist but a dash of grapefruit bitters spread over 4 cocktails worked well.

Suze is superb but can take command of a cocktail. This is an excellent showcase for it but for the next round I will reduce the Suze slightly. Or maybe a dash of soda?

Tastes like Crodino

Whilst I've loved this over the years with Cocchi Americano, Beefeater, and Suze (and it's fantastic!) revisiting this with Lillet Blanc...aaah....it's perfect. By the way, have ya'''all tried the Five-Three-Five? Star.

Calvin, revisiting this with Kina L’aero d’or fully replacing the Lillet this evening. I enjoyed but def changes the flavour profile quite a bit- perhaps more suited to the cool weather here (yes, it does snow occasionally, tho rarely in town itself) - the syrupy sweetness of the Kina I thought worked well, without losing a nice hit of the bitter too.

Love the five three five! Such a great color too!

I made this with Plymouth Navy Strength, Suze, and Cocchi Americano in equal parts. The gin really holds up here but it packs a punch! This is an excellent drink, both fruity, bitter, and earthy.

I've made this a few times over the 5 years, and this one take stands out. But it tastes like a bitter Sprite. What's your thoughts?... Equal parts: Monkey 47, Cocchi Americano, Salers.

Following the discussion with Chris brislawn on these pages, if you sub half the Lillet for Bonal or another available Kina you’ll get something much more pleasingly adult and bittersweet. On this occasion I went with Sipsmith 30, Suze 30 (haven’t been able to source salers for comparison) 15 each Lillet and bonal. Very satisfying digestif.

Revisiting with proper indigents. Very pleasant and, for my money, significantly less bittersweet than a regular negroni (I’m looking at you Campari 👀). Sampled the newly acquired bottle of Suze and found it very pleasant indeed. But then I had also just sampled Bonal also, which is generous on the bitter element, tho not outrageously.

Swapped the wine for noilly prat original ( for the sake of finishing the bottle ) Definitely a milder bitterness in comparison to the original spec but still is quite good. Gentian has really started growing on me.
