“For an extra aromatic experience, express the lemon peel over the drink by twisting it to release the oils before dropping it in. This adds a burst of citrus aroma that enhances every sip.”
The Story Behind the White Negroni
The White Negroni is a modern twist on the classic Negroni, believed to have been created in the early 2000s by British bartender Wayne Collins. It was first introduced at Vinexpo in Bordeaux, France, and quickly gained popularity for its unique blend of gin, Lillet Blanc, and Suze Liqueur, offering a lighter, more floral alternative to its predecessor.
