Rosemary & Elderflower White Negroni

Rosemary & Elderflower White Negroni

The White Negroni—with its gentian liqueur and lighter style of aromatized wine—showcases a different side of a gin’s botanical profile from the classic version. In this take, a rosemary-infused bianco vermouth lends a piney character that brings The Botanist gin’s juniper notes to the forefront. A touch of elderflower liqueur rounds out the bitter gentian, while a dash of verjus ups the overall acidity.
