White Negroni

Wayne Collins's 2001 Vinexpo creation reimagines the Negroni with gin, Suze (French gentian liqueur), and Cocchi Americano — the result is golden rather than red, with a gentian bitterness that is more herbaceous and less aggressive than Campari. A sophisticated aperitivo in its own right.
