I changed the bianco to lillet blanc. With the lemon zest, a citrusy and very refreshing negroni was made. I loved this.

Revisiting with Cardamaro in place of Cynar. Added tiny splashes of Suze (my current obsession) and Strega to good effect. I love how the extra kick of gin shows up the botanicals here - I was finishing bottles and used a combo of cotswolds, four pillars and beefeater. Such fun!

A really excellent negroni take, and possibly a little more approachable for the Campari-shy. The richness of both the Cynar and Blanc vermouth very nicely balancing the bitterness, aided by the saline to bring out the savoury artichoke.

Love Negronis and love this variation!

Like the use of bianco instead of rosso vermouth here; it keeps the drink on the lighter side. I like 2:1:1 proportions for Negronis. The gin comes through better with 2:1:1 proportions, and cutting the bianco even more to just 1/2 oz makes for an assertive Negroni that really brings out the bitter aspects of the Cynar without having it totally dominate the drink.

Having just bought my first bottle of Cynar (and learned how to pronounce it!) this was a must. Excellent. A nice alternative to the classic. Smoother perhaps and somehow more warming. It will be on rotation throughout the holidays.

I think of a Negroni as a bright summer drink. This one is a warm winter drink. Delicious.
