Description: A paler, gentler take on the Negroni that swaps Campari and sweet vermouth for Suze and Lillet Blanc.
Cultural Background: Created by bartender Wayne Collins in the early 2000s at a French wine fair, quickly becoming a modern bar staple.
Tips: Suze's distinct bitter-gentian flavor is essential — it isn't a simple Campari substitute.
Variations: Adjusting the Suze slightly up or down changes the drink's bitterness noticeably.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice as a lighter, more floral alternative to the classic Negroni.
