French Negroni
CLASSIC · GIN

French Negroni

Lillet Blanc is significantly less bitter than Campari, so this drink leans closer to a Martini in character than a traditional Negroni - if you want to nudge it back toward bitterness without abandoning the concept, a small barspoon of Suze or Salers works beautifully.
