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...
Made it side by side one with Lillet Blanc and one with Cocchi Americano- the latter is definitively the right choice! Incorporates the Suze better and has overall a more negroni-feel. Lillet Blanc in contrast doesn't produce a rounded palate
Not sure that I like it in the 1:1:1 ratio but then the only 1:1 drink that's my favorite is the Last Word.
First time using Suze and it is thuggish...but I like the flavor. Neat vegital herbaceousness on the back end that you don't get with Campari. I look forward to playing with it.
Discovered this in a bar in Paris last year, & been drinking it ever since. Suze, memorably described by another subscriber as 'thuggish' is somewhat disarmed in this excellent cocktail.
Did a mini version with equal 25mL parts of four pillars navy gin, Cocchi Americano as the ‘amaro’ and dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters. Very pleasantly citrusy, herbal, fruity. Probably light on the bitter side for a as classic negroni, but refreshing and flavoursome.
I reinvented the wheel- constructed a negroni to suit my tastes - 45 gin, 30 Lillet, 15 Campari- then checked Difford’s and here it is! Used Sipsmith and very happy with the sweet/sour/fruity/herbal balance 😇.
Like a Negroni and variants - thought I would like this.
Didn’t enjoy this ratio.
Gave It another go with different ratios slightly different ingredients.
45 mls Roku Gin
30 mls Blanc Vermouth
20 mls Suze
Lemon Twist.
Found this a more appealing / enjoyable cocktail.
