The mix of equal parts of sweet red vermouth, Campari, and gin means it is a balance of sweet, bitter, and herbal. Translation: it’s an extremely food-friendly cocktail.
But even the best things are worthy of a riff every now and then. In the case of a Negroni one riff, we turn to often is the white Negroni.
The White Negroni was said to have been created by London mixologist, Wayne Collins, back in the early 2000s and he stirred together bitter Suze liqueur, the French aperitif Lillet, and gin. That version is a modern classic but we don’t find it to be particularly food-friendly.
Enter our take on the white Negroni made with dry white vermouth, Cocchi Bianco aperitif, and a London style (read: herbaceous and juniper-y) gin. The result is a cocktail that lives on the taste spectrum between a refreshing Gin & Tonic and a Vermouth & Soda.
Yes, those are both the go-to cocktails for tapas in Spain because they’re both very food-friendly. As such this cocktail is refreshing, balanced, and pretty much begging to be served with your next meal.
