What is White Negroni Set: Plymouth Gin + Suze + Lillet Blanc?

The White Negroni swaps out the traditional Campari and sweet vermouth for Suze and Lillet Blanc, creating a lighter, more floral version of the classic cocktail. Interestingly, this modern twist on the Negroni was invented in 2001 by British bartender Wayne Collins in Bordeaux, France, as a way to showcase local French ingredients to visiting bartenders from New York City.

Why do we love White Negroni Set: Plymouth Gin + Suze + Lillet Blanc?

The White Negroni Set, featuring Plymouth Gin, Suze, and Lillet Blanc, offers cocktail enthusiasts a bright, herbaceous twist on the classic Negroni. This combination showcases the gentle botanicals of Plymouth Gin, the bitter complexity of Suze (a French gentian liqueur), and the subtle citrus notes of Lillet Blanc, creating a refreshing and visually striking cocktail that's less bitter and more approachable than its ruby-red counterpart.

How do you drink White Negroni Set: Plymouth Gin + Suze + Lillet Blanc?

This sophisticated trio of spirits is best savored in a classic stirred cocktail, served up in a chilled coupe glass with a twist of lemon peel to enhance its aromatic complexity. The White Negroni Set shines brightest on warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light appetizers like marinated olives, fresh seafood, or creamy goat cheese to complement its herbal and citrus notes.

The White Negroni is a modern twist on the classic Negroni, typically crafted by combining equal parts Plymouth Gin, Suze (a French gentian liqueur), and Lillet Blanc (a French aperitif wine). What makes this cocktail unique is its ability to maintain the bitter complexity of the original Negroni while presenting a visually striking pale golden hue, achieved through the careful selection of clear or lightly-colored ingredients that still pack a flavorful punch.

The White Negroni was invented in 2001 by British bartender Wayne Collins in France, making it a modern classic that's younger than the iPhone. Collins created it when he couldn't find Campari for a traditional Negroni, inadvertently sparking a new cocktail revolution.

Suze, a key ingredient in the White Negroni, is flavored with gentian root, which is so intensely bitter that it was once used to treat malaria. This medicinal history adds a touch of apothecary intrigue to every sip of the cocktail.

Plymouth Gin, the preferred gin for a White Negroni, is protected by a geographical indication. It can only be produced in Plymouth, England, much like how true Champagne must come from the Champagne region of France. This makes the White Negroni a globally-protected cocktail of sorts.
