Review:

The lovechild of the White Negroni and Negroni Sbagliato, this bittersweet aperitivo dominated by gentian liqueur so the first couple of sips may be challenging but once past these it's difficult to stop.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2018 by Toby Cecchini and David Moo of The Long Island Bar in Brooklyn, New York City, USA. Not originally made to be served at their bar, but for a Cocktails & Conversations talk with architects Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi at the American Institute of Architects. It has since become one of the signature cocktails at The Long Island Bar.

Nice - I was surprised at how vegetal it is - initial taste is full of cooked/stewed vegetables, with modest bitterness and then a hit of sweetness. Very nice break from overly sweet sparkling cocktails.

Cocchi Americano and Salers 16 with just lil ol Martini & Rossi sparkling was an easy winner. Supreme swill!

This is far better than the standard Sbagliato as the Suze really gives a massive kick compared to the original.

Really good use of Suze - creates whole new flavour.
