French Negroni Cocktail
The French negroni cocktail is a modern variation of the classic, created by substituting key ingredients but using the same technique. This results in a cocktail that is lighter in profile while maintaining a balance that defines the original, incorporating regional influences and subtle nuances. The cocktail can also be paired with a wide variety of savoury foods with herbal elements due to its structured character.
