I got this recipe from my recent visit to the House of Bols in Amsterdam. It uses genever, a traditional juniper-flavoured liquor from the Netherlands, which predates gin. Instead of Campari, the recipe calls for a red bitter liqueur made by Galliano that I brought home with me. It’s a delicious negroni with Dutch ingredients. The sunflowers are a homage to Van Gough.

Editor's Note

Genever replaces gin, lending a malty, grain-forward depth to the classic Negroni template. Galliano L'Aperitivo provides a bright, citrus-driven bitterness that rounds out the finish.
