Negroni Bianco Recipe

Feeling left out of the negroni craze because you cant get over the hyper-bitter flavor of campari? Its all the rage with the cocktail elite these days, but we feel for drinkers who just cant get on board with a spirit that, to some, tastes more like a cleaning solution than a citrus apritif. Fear not theres still space for bitter-haters at the cool kids table, thanks to this fantastic negroni bianco recipe from joe campanale at fausto in brooklyn. Strong and barely-bitter, the negroni bianco swaps out campari for cocchi americano, a complex, fragrant white wine apritif. Lillet blanc is just as good, if a touch sweeter. A couple dashes of grapefruit bitters and a twist of orange peel helps the drink retain a bit of the negronis citrus character.
