I am in the mood for this sometimes and it is quite good, but it doesn't have the magic balance of a negroni

I logged in specially just to like this post. I would love to find another drink with the perfection of the negroni. Let me know if one ever appears. Wings were fun but they weren’t the Beatles 😅

I made it with Dolin Rouge, Dolin Dry and sodastream water. Pretty good like that at first sip, but I (kind of) followed Tobias D’s suggestion and added a drop of Tanqueray. It definitely warps the flavour of course - another time I will try to have a chilled glass ready as a better way to stave off dilution. But good either way.

First time I've had my French marked in 45 years but fair enough. With these proportions you can't sub the Byrrh and expect the same result. Go on, treat yourself!

Maybe next festive season. I've never tried Byrrh, and from online descriptions it sounded somewhat Lillet-Rouge-like. I only had the Lillet because I saw it in stock - usually I only see the Blanc and Rose around. Having tried it in a few things I can see why it's not in the shops much.
