History

The Negroni Bianco is Dante's recipe. Dante, the Greenwich Village bar first opened as Caffe Dante in 1915, built a Negroni program under Naren Young that helped earn it the top spot on the World's 50 Best Bars list in 2019. This is their original spec: no red bitter, just a quinquina, two vermouths, lemon bitters and verjus. Dante pre-batches it with water; at home, stir it with ice instead.

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.
