Late reply put that vermouth sounds amazing, I love Pedro-ximinez and the christmas pud/raisin flavours.
might give that a try when i run out of red vermouth.

In other Negroni news i have acquired some Amber Limon from London vermouth company and have been meaning to try a white negroni for ages but never got round to buying the Suze to make it but it turns out that Luxardo Bitter Bianco is better suited and not such an artificial yellow/green colour.
made one last night with Asterly bros English dry vermouth/Bombay/Luxardo BB/lemon peel
and it’s a nice alternative to straight negroni and really good balance between sweet/bitterness and very complex flavours which is probably down to the high quality ingredients of the vermouth, would like to try it with grapefruit peel instead of lemon.
there is a childhood sweetshop note in there which i couldn’t put my finger on, cola cubes? rhubarb and custard? pear drops?

Will try one with the Amber Limon but having already tried a splash of it in gin i’m not sure if it’s going to have the oomph to sit with the Luxardo and not get swamped.

i’m really going off the standard supermarket/bar vermouths from the big brands they just seem sugary and lacking in complexity in comparison to the smaller brands.
