White Negroni Punch

White Negroni Punch
This electric twist on the Negroni swaps a yellow-hued French herbal liqueur, Suze, in place of the traditional, ruby red Campari—but still maintains the cocktail’s signature well-balanced bitterness. If Suze is hard to find in your area, other fortified aperitifs like Cocchi Americano or Lillet Blanc can be used in its place, though with slightly sweeter results.

Total Time:
2 hrs 15 mins
Yield:
10 serves

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced, optional

  • 2 cups (16 oz) gin

  • 1 cup (8 oz) Suze (or another fortified aperitif such as Cocchi Americano or Lillet)

  • 1 cup (8 oz) dry vermouth

Directions

  1. Make lemon ice ring, if desired: Arrange 16 to 18 lemon rounds (about 2 lemons) in the bottom of an 8-inch tube or bundt pan, overlapping the slices. Add ice cubes (this will help keep fruit from floating to the top as the water freezes) and fill the pan with 3 to 6 cups water, enough to cover the lemons. Freeze until solid.

  2. Combine the gin, Suze, and vermouth in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. If using, remove the ice ring from the pan and float in the punch. To serve, ladle into ice-filled glasses.
