History

The Negroni au Provence is a Dante recipe that rebuilds the Negroni from French ingredients. Citadelle, a French gin, carries the base. Suze, a gentian aperitif created in 1889, replaces the Italian red bitter, and lavender-infused Cocchi Rosa takes the place of sweet vermouth. Lavender bitters tie it to the purple fields of Provence that inspired the name.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
