Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the White Negroni

Wayne Collins created it at Vinexpo in Bordeaux in 2001 with the French bottles he had to hand: Suze and Lillet instead of Campari and sweet vermouth.

Missing something?

  • No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
  • No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
  • No Lillet Blanc? Use Cocchi Americano (Closest to the original Kina Lillet)
  • No Lillet Blanc? Use Bianco Vermouth
  • No Suze? Use Cocchi Americano (Also gentian-bitter, softer)
