Negroni Bianco Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass

   Place a rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you mix the cocktail.

2. 2

   Combine ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add Whitley Neill Gin (1 oz), Lillet Blanc (1 oz), Dolin Blanc vermouth (1/2 oz), Yellow Chartreuse (1/4 oz), and 1 dash of orange bitters.

3. 3

   Add ice and stir

   Fill the mixing glass with 6 large ice cubes. Stir gently and continuously for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full strokes) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted—glass should develop light frost.

4. 4

   Prepare serving glass

   Discard the chilling ice/water from the rocks glass and add a single large ice cube or sphere to the glass.

5. 5

   Strain

   Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, double-strain (if desired through a fine mesh) the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.

6. 6

   Express and garnish

   Take a lemon twist (or orange twist), give it a firm squeeze over the drink to express the oils, rub the rim of the glass with the peel, then drop the twist into the drink as garnish.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the herbal lift of the Chartreuse and floral/citrus notes from the Lillet and vermouth.
