Loved this with Suze. A must have in my bar like Triple Sec or Maraschino liqueur. Tried to get another bottle and I was told the distributer dropped it! Was only first able to get it a year ago or so. Here in Washington State we are at the mercy of the distributer Oligarchy. We can't even ship from out of state not to mention paying among the highest liquor taxes in USA. All I could find was a bottle of Salers Gentiane 16%. The resulting Negroni was more martini like. Still good.

Be thankful you don't live in Canada. We pay an even higher tax rate, and because of the government-owned monopoly, the only way we can get something the government hasn't approved is a special order, minimum of one case, and "guaranteed to be 4-5x the retail price". So Suze isn't even an option here. Even Salers isn't available.

I find equal parts is too Suze-heavy, and prefer this 1.5oz gin, 1oz Lillet and 3/4oz Suze.

Thank you for the suggestion! I agree the original is a bit too heavy for us. We enjoyed this variation.

I love this drink but I serve it in a very cold glass without any ice. Stirring it with ice is good but I don't want to dilute this beauty any more than that.

This version is very frenchy but I remember a recipe on this site that called for martini bianco and luxardo bitter bianco instead of suze and lillet blanc, am I right? I'm going to try that recipe...

Hi Stefano. I think the cocktail you remember is the Negroni Bianco. It's still on the site.

After what likely was too much testing -- but that's what happens when you start taking fun things somewhat seriously -- here's my final, tweaked version, which we think is balanced very well: 1 1/2 Sipsmith, 1 Dolin Blanc Vermouth, 1/2 Suze. I've subbed out the Cocchi Americano with the Dolin.

Try Tanqueray, Suze, Dolin blanc and a careful dash of Bitter Truth’s Cucumber Bitters. A few drops
Grapefruit bitters will make a great complement to the grapefruit twist.

I learned to make mine with Sipsmith, Suze, and Cocchi Americano.

Outstanding. A great change of pace from classic Negroni.
