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.
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.
