Negroni Bianco
The Negroni deftly toes the line between sweet and bitter. A pinch of salt helps navigate that balance, muting bitter edges and highlighting sweetness, all without actually tipping the drink salty. This variation swaps in blanc (also called bianco) vermouth for the classic’s red, but feel free to use whatever vermouth you like or have on hand.
