Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Prepare your glassware by placing a large ice cube (or regular ice) in a rocks glass and set aside. A large cube will melt more slowly, minimizing dilution while maintaining the perfect temperature.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add the gin, white coffee liqueur, blanc vermouth, and Suze to a mixing glass. The blanc vermouth provides a subtle sweetness that balances the bitterness of the Suze and complements the coffee notes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Fill your mixing glass about ¾ full with clear ice cubes (larger cubes are preferable for slower dilution). Stir gently but consistently for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is properly chilled and diluted. You'll know it's ready when condensation forms on the outside of the mixing glass.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Using your Hawthorne strainer, pour the stirred cocktail into the prepared rocks glass with the large ice cube. Pour slowly and deliberately to maintain temperature and avoid splashing.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Cut a strip of orange peel about 5cm long and 2cm wide. Hold the peel skin-side down, about 10cm above the drink, and pinch it to express the oils over the surface of the cocktail. You should see a fine mist of essential oils coat the drink surface, adding aroma and flavor.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Twist the orange peel into a tight spiral and place it on the rim of the glass. If using, add a single coffee bean as a decorative element that also reinforces the coffee aroma. The garnish not only adds visual appeal but continues to release aromatics as you sip.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in Coffee Negroni Blanco Recipe?

The Coffee Negroni Blanco requires London dry gin, white coffee liqueur (like Mr Black), blanc vermouth (such as Dolin Blanc), Suze or other gentian liqueur, orange peel for garnish, and an optional coffee bean for decoration.

How to make Coffee Negroni Blanco Recipe at home?

Learn how to make Coffee Negroni Blanco Recipe by stirring 30ml each of gin, white coffee liqueur and blanc vermouth with 15ml of gentian liqueur in a mixing glass with ice for 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube, express orange oils over the surface, and garnish with an orange twist and coffee bean.

Can I substitute Suze with another bitter liqueur in this white coffee negroni?

Yes, while Suze provides the distinctive gentian bitterness, you could substitute with Avèze, Salers, or even Campari (which will change the colour). For a milder approach, try Luxardo Bitter Bianco or Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aéro d'Or to maintain the "blanc" character.

What's the best white coffee liqueur for this sophisticated aperitivo?

Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is ideal as it offers clean coffee notes without excessive sweetness. Other excellent options include Kahlúa Blonde, Fair Café Liqueur, or St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur. For a DIY approach, you can infuse vodka with lightly roasted coffee beans.

Why is this cocktail stirred rather than shaken?

This cocktail is stirred to maintain clarity and achieve proper dilution without over-aerating the spirits. Stirring creates a silky, cohesive texture while preserving the elegant appearance. Shaking would introduce tiny air bubbles and excess dilution, potentially muddying the delicate balance of flavours.
