Negroni Bianchi

1 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Alta Verde
1⁄4 oz Genepy, Dolin Genepy des Alpes
Instructions

Combine all ingredients in mixing glass. Add ice and stir. Strain into double old fashioned glass. Add fresh ice and garnish with orange swath.

Notes

Short stir if adding fresh ice. You can also build this right into a double old fashioned glass and add ice and stir as a standard Negroni or serve up. I prefer serving over large format ice such as along cube or sphere.
