CLASSIC WITH A TWIST
About the Cilantro White Negroni
This tropical reimagining of the White Negroni swaps gin for Empirical Cilantro, bringing fresh, grassy depth and a hint of citrus to the mix. Chinola Mango adds juicy tropical fruit notes, while Salers Gentian Aperitif introduces bitter backbone and structure. Italicus Bergamot Liqueur rounds it out with floral and citrus complexity, resulting in a cocktail that is refreshing, aromatic, and anything but expected.

Why Use Empirical Cilantro?
Empirical Cilantro brings grassy, citrus-forward freshness to this White Negroni variation, replacing the classic gin with something lighter, brighter, and more nuanced. Paired with mango’s tropical sweetness, bergamot’s floral lift, and the crisp bitterness of gentian, it creates a complex and modern cocktail that still nods to the original.
