So I had to do some cleanup here - The was a drink published a few years ago by user Squonk1977 called the "Queen Alexandra" which was this drink but Plymouth gin and 2 dashes of Regans' orange bitters. It was pointed out that this drink appeared in a Hendrick's cocktail book that was published before 2011 as the "Unusual Negroni"... so the Queen Alexandra was merged into the "Cheeky Negroni" which was renamed "Unusual Negroni" which hopefully isn't too confusing for people.  Thanks,  Zachary

Also good with Genever in place of the gin.

I've made this many times before finding it here. I just called it a white negroni riff, but I guess it actually existed before me. It's my go to "lazy" drink whenever I have Lillet. Always hits the spot.
