Introducing my favorite cocktail to indulge in while transitioning from summer to fall – the Flower Girl White Negroni. The White Negroni preserves the essence of the classic Negroni, while highlighting a softer palate where citrus, floral, and botanical notes shine. Fun fact: it was created out of necessity in 2001 when Wayne Collins (Bartender) could find neither Campari nor sweet vermouth in France.

My version is a little different than his, and the star of the show is Flower Girl Vermouth. With less than 1,200 bottles crafted each year, this South African vermouth is made from 100% Viognier. The resulting profile is lush and rich. Flavors of dried flowers, ginger root, orange peel, tea, and a whisper of grapefruit make this the perfect complement to a citrus-forward gin (try the Roku, you’ll love it) & bitter liqueur. You can also skip the cocktail and enjoy it on the rocks with a citrus wheel, but that’s for a later date! Today, we’re making a Flower Girl White Negroni.
