The nonalcoholic Negroni has become a bartender flex. At Brother Wolf in Knoxville, Tennessee, Jessica King’s take on the Italian aperitivo classic calls on Seedlip Spice 94 in gin’s place, San Pellegrino Sanbittèr instead of Campari and Versin N/A Vermouth in for sweet vermouth. Though Sanbittèr is lightly effervescent, stirring with just an ounce of the soda yields a still cocktail.
