We here at PRIMA are diehard advocates of a good Negroni and we happily look forward to any opportunity to enjoy one. We don’t care whether it’s in a piazza overlooking the duomo in Milano while being buzzed by Vespas and pickpockets, or right in the safety of our own backyard. In fact, at Casa Rittmaster, we always make sure we have not only the supplies for a great Negroni on hand, but also a good supply of Trader Joe’s classic potato chips, a bowl of which helps create that authentic apero-nella-piazza vibe. But variety is the spice of life, and lately we’ve broadened our Negroni game to include not only the lower ABV Negroni Sbagliato (where a Prosecco float replaces the gin) but now we’re also keen on the drier, more aromatic Negroni Bianco, a decidedly lighter but nonetheless satisfying stop in our never-ending Negroni journey. To perfect the Negroni Bianco, we consulted with our own Tadd Tanji, PRIMA’s resident expert on the alchemy of a great cocktail. After much back and forth (you think it’s easy testing all these different recipes?), he thinks has it! To celebrate the dog days of summer, we’re proud to present Tadd’s Most Excellent Negroni Bianco.
