Plymouth, Suze, Lillet & tonic

Suze’s gentian character has a different setting here. Lillet supplies wine-and-fruit support, while tonic adds bubbles and a bitter contribution of its own. Plymouth keeps gin in the partnership, and grapefruit peel can frame the aroma. This gives you a long White Negroni with more going on than pale colour and extra water. The tonic’s formulation matters to sweetness and flavour. It is a bottle worth choosing with the same care as the ones in the short drink.
