White Negroni Recipe

The White Negroni has been a trendy drink lately, showing up on cocktail menus across the country. Many versions call for Suze, a French aperitif with a delicately bitter gentian root flavor. Others call for brisk, bitter Bonal Gentiane-Quina. Both are lovely bottles, but sometimes hard to find; this recipe uses more commonly available Cocchi Americano and Dolin Blanc to round out dry gin.
Cocchi Americano has a delightful bitter undertone that qualifies this drink as a Negroni variant, but feel free to experiment as you will; if you have access to Suze or Bonal, go to town. You may want to adjust the ratios slightly depending on your ingredients.
