White Negroni History
The White Negroni is a modern cocktail recipe and one of the new cocktails that has become popular in recent decades. It first debuted in 2001 with British bartender Wayne Collins at the famous beverage exhibition VinExpo in Bordeaux, France. He was traveling with Nick Blacknell, then director of Plymouth Gin. This drink became a huge hit and became one of the most popular Negroni variations. The White Negroni shares many similarities with the standard Negroni. It is a stiff and bitter cocktail with a citrus flavor.
Crafting Tips
- You’ll notice that the White Negroni is actually yellow. If you want it white (it’s actually clear), use Coach Americano instead of tallow liqueur.
- The classic negoni is made from equal parts. This recipe brings back Suze because it works a bit.
