1st #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 20th September: Limoncello Negroni Bianco
Our first cocktail is the Limoncello Negroni Bianco. The Limoncello Negroni is pretty good, but limoncello is yellow and we wanted a yellow Limoncello Negroni, so we created a variant of the Negroni Bianco, which replaces the white vermouth with limoncello.
