White Negroni Cocktail

The Negroni Sbagliato is one White Negroni cocktail that uses sparkling wine in place of gin for a bubbly Italian undertone. Sometimes, the Negroni Sbagliato is referred to as a “broken” Negroni or even a “mistaken” Negroni, as the Italian word “sbagliato” can roughly translate to “botched.”

Our White Negroni Cocktail recipe features Código 1530 Blanco Still Strength Estate Harvest Tequila for a smoother, agave-forward take on the Italian “mistaken” Negroni.

Typically, a White Negroni uses gin, bittersweet liqueur, and a wine-based aperitif to tie the ingredients together. 

In our White Negroni Cocktail recipe, Código 1530 Blanco Still Strength Estate Harvest Tequila trades gin’s woodsy, botanical edge for bright agave, mint, and black pepper notes that complement the tart, citrus-forward grapefruit finish.

The Estate Harvest Negroni is one highly recommended, unique White Negroni recipe that appeals to lovers of sophisticated, high-proof cocktails with rich agave notes. Grab a bottle of Código 1530 Estate Harvest Still Strength Blanco Tequila and swap the ginger liqueur for red bitter liqueur and the dry vermouth for sweet vermouth. Skip the orange bitters and garnish with a dried orange wheel.

The White Negroni Piña Colada, White Negroni Sour, Polka Dot Negroni, and the Negroni Sbagliato are all popular White Negroni variations.

You can replace Suze in a White Negroni with other clear liqueurs of your choosing.
