Negroni Variation - The White Negroni

[@AndersErickson]

Any Negroni fans out there? How do you feel about the White Negroni? Get the bottles here! 👉 bit.ly/AndersBottles Cheers, everybody!

[@UnclePete]

One of my favorites!

[@ahhsk]

Oh we've been waiting for this Mr. Erickson!

[@jono6379]

Hey another good video.. its good to see Az on camera at the end because it gives a good perspective on the drinks taste from someone who isnt so used to drinking such varied cocktails.

[@davidrader2282]

My wife and I love Campari but we enjoy Suze when we want a similar bitter component as change up with an earthy undertone. We still love our traditional Negroni but also very much enjoy a White Negroni! I know you said you tried other blanc vermouth's. We love Dolin Dry for our 5:1 Martinis but found the Dolin Blanc lacking something the Lillet Blanc brought to the White Negroni. The sweeter, richer Lillet Blanc brought a perfect balance to the earthy Suze in this recipe for us. Keep up the great videos and yes, give us more Az on camera. Just like in cocktails. It's all about balance. :)

[@Annelle-nt7ig]

I adore the White Negroni! What a great discovery this summer. My build is 2:1.5:1 gin/Lillet/Suze. And I've been using a Spanish gin called Akori. The floral notes compliment both the Suze and Lillet really well. Great, great, great choice, Anders! And yes, we love seeing Az! She's just wonderful!

[@AlonzoTheArmless]

If Az starts singing like that after she tastes a drink, then, yes, definitely keep bringing her on camera!

[@Deimonos85]

the interaction is great

[@okamimimi]

Keep the drinks coming! And Az in front of the cam too! We WANT TO SEE AZ!!

[@kuzemchik]

I like Az on camera. She adds a bit more life to videos. Also I like bloopers at the end. Me and my wife are binge watching your playlists once in a while and it is fun to see your guys interactions and reactions to drinks.

[@AndersErickson]

Appreciate that, Vlad! Happy you're enjoying the content. Cheers!

[@johnbartlet6669]

Anders is the salesman and Oz is the discerning customer. Both voices are needed.

[@danielrach2724]

I, personally, really love the dynamic between you two. You’re a great, fun couple and would appreciate seeing even more of your playing off one another. Cheers to you both.

[@TACstallion]

I enjoy when she is with you at the end. One of favorites is when you guys did the original Nagroni and Americano! The two of you just chatting about the drinks (and the loud truck haha) was just good wholesome content!

[@amandamosser1854]

This is the first thing that has made me smile all year

[@zsx777]

Yes Az, we do like seeing you. We love this channel that you and Anders made together, and we like seeing you two together. You’re a great team 👍🏼

[@inthebag84]

Another great video, Anders! Also, yes, I think we all love it when Az comes out at the end to give her opinion on the drink(s) you've just made! Keep it up! :-)

[@pngsmeshyflairofficial]

Hi Anders. I've been watching your videos for about 6 months now. I recently moved cities and the owner of the restaurant that I applied at loves Negronis. I followed your recipe to the point and I got the job. He loved it so much. I've been incorporating alot of what you do in your videos into my work. I also love Ango. I find it works very well in alot of cocktails. Thanks so much for all the great tips and advice and keep pouring those cocktails. Zach A Bartender

[@AndersErickson]

Love hearing about your success, Zach! Glad he liked the Negroni, but you got that job all on your own. Happy mixing as you continue to grow behind the bar! Cheers! 🥃

[@pngsmeshyflairofficial]

@@AndersErickson Thanks so much. They're also training me as the Bar Manager since the current one left. It's a stressful job but Rome wasn't built in a day. To The Bar!!!

[@MrMoon-qb4vy]

I absolutely love you guys! Number one channel for Mixologist!!

[@sebastiank7956]

Az is a fantastic addition to every video. I feel sad inside every time we don't get to see her reactions to your amazing drinks.

[@cecefil]

Some hilarious Az Analogy with drink tastes is the absolute truth every time. Keep it up! Cheers Anders & Az!

[@MrMoney331]

Yea we Like seeing Oz's opinion on the Drink!! More OZ!! Time to pick up a bottle of Suze!

[@thomasosterling295]

Love this drink! If you can’t find Suze (like me) the recipe I use for a White Negroni is 1 oz Gin 1 oz Bitter Bianco 1 oz Blanc Vermouth

[@AndersErickson]

Excellent substitution - thanks for sharing, Thomas!

[@keybassmankev]

I'm two years late to this comment, but I like doing 1 part gin 1 part lillet Blanc Half part suze Half part bitter bianco

[@JohnWine57]

Man! I just discovered your channel like on day ago and I am more addicted to it than I am to my current Netflix series! Super inspirational, helpful and positive content. Keep it up, greetings from Germany!

[@NoZenith]

Your face and input are a welcome addition to these videos. Thank you very much to both of you

[@smytherichbourg9344]

Love the history, love seeing Az tasting and reacting to drinks, love Anders’ deadpan reactions to her fun reactions. You guys are becoming my post-pandemic drinking buddies.

[@stonehenge313]

I love it when Az comes on screen to give her perspective. Great chemistry !

[@EdenRiot2]

Az is great wherever she wants to be. I really enjoy hearing her laugh off camera, I really enjoy seeing and hearing hear on camera. You're both fantastic!

[@garybatch4102]

Another winner, winner, chicken dinner. Just the right blend of history, mixology, and tasting reactions. Thanks.

[@KeithGrant]

I spent years trying to track down Suze, until one day it just magically appeared at my liquor store. So I immediately bought two bottles 😆 Here's one I love that uses it (my creation): Black-eyed Susan 1 1//2 oz London dry gin 1/2 oz Suze 3/4 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz black pepper infused simple syrup Served up in a Nick & Nora with a salt + black pepper rim around half the glass

[@AndersErickson]

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing - cheers!

[@tobielang5730]

Az, is great as she adds an element of the consumer/viewer, her reactions are less seasoned and more authentic! bloodly love this channel though, keep up the amazing work!!

[@joshkarl7011]

Az is a plus. Like seeing her and her input. Always a value add to the video.

[@matthewharper9615]

It's not just your face we want to see, Az it's your effervescent personality, the way you and Anders interact. It's just fun when you show up and give your two cents on the cocktail!

[@markradius]

Another great video Anders! And we always love to see Az with you!! You compliment each other well!

[@deborahinaba2641]

Brava!!! and Bravo!!! Love this one! Clear, crisp and well executed!!! Thanks Az and Anders!!

[@timlarsen8198]

Great seeing Az! Look forward to trying the drink. Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Tim! Have a great weekend - cheers!

[@DrMattReddy]

In herbal medicine, gentian is one of the most bitter herbs used. It’s used for liver and digestion issues. It’s called a cholagogue which means it stimulates the liver to make bile. Bile is vital for digestion which is why bitter liquors are used. I haven’t tried Suze yet but it’s on my list. Thanks for making such great cocktail videos! Cheers!

[@av8ordoc480]

Great video! Enjoy the information and both of your reactions and perspectives on the drink!

[@damienomen669]

Az’s masterful work behind the camera, with that incredible framing and focus that actually catches lemon oil hitting the drink, is like the National Geographic of bar cinema. But seeing her in front of the camera makes the videos even better and highlights the partnership of the best channel on KZbin. Cheers to both of you.

[@juliussharrock5368]

20-30 sec stir -- the majority of the cocktails i've seen you make~ A true testament to the fact you make real drinks, with real flavor~

[@JustinChase1]

Fantastic origin story and awesome video. Well done.

[@HunterR38]

Love your videos and I've been playing with your drink recipes with great enthusiasm. Many of them have been very welcomed by my wife and friends! Honestly having Oz (spelling?) opinion is a great addition that I not only enjoy but appreciate when planning one of you drinks on my wife or her friends when they have a gathering at our home. Side note: my new knowledge of drinks has been a hit when going out for a drink at a bar and inquiring with the bartenders. It's fun to talk about their twists on drinks they make and what they personally like. Thank you for your hard work on your Blogs!!!! Forever a fan!!

[@ericstill9102]

Fantastic as always! You and Az have a great connection, bring us more Az and Anders!!

[@mkparker99]

I love the cocktails! AZ is just adorable. I love her drink reactions.

[@colleensouthwell3926]

You had me at Wisconsin Old Fashioned. I'm so glad you're here, showing us how to do it - Midwest Style.

[@da-rude]

IT TOTALLY STANDS NEXT TO THE CLASSIC NEGRONI ANY DAY 🙌 THE BEST VARIATION EVER

[@kinslayerauthor4051]

I'm so glad Az (is that correct?) became more of a part of your vids. She has a lovely personality that rounds everything out beautifully. She's like the simple syrup in a Jungle Bird: she doesn't seem like she'd be all that important, but really rounds out and balances the whole.

[@popojoe8684]

While I wouldn’t phase it as wanted to see Az’s face, I do enjoy when she tries a drink. Getting someone else’s input is always helpful, especially on the drinks that Az has never tried before, like this video. Plus the banter between you two is always good as well.

[@saucytabasco]

Agreed

[@jpcampbell]

Looks great. I’ve had a variation with Italicus instead of Suze. They called it the Crystal Negroni

[@RoryJones]

My new Friday routine has become watching your video on my lunch break, heading to the liquor store after work to get the components, and enjoying the drink while watching a new Ted Lasso.

[@AndersErickson]

That sounds like a great Friday! Cheers, Rory - enjoy the weekend!

[@jonahlevy674]

Here before 1 million subscribers :) Thanks for all you do with production value and great cocktails. I've learned a lot!

[@bobaerbuddy]

I just love that slightly reluctant "oh-kay" from Az in the beginning when Anders ask her to come "to the bar" - and than in the end this marvelous solo performance opera style reaction on the Suze 🤣🤣😂😁 couldn't imagine the channel anymore without your apperances Az! 🥰

[@johnnymossville]

Love Negroni, so I think I would like this as well. The color is awesome too. Very summery

[@rickdorion9149]

Love your channel Anders! You tell the history of the cocktails and that's great. Keep AZ too!

[@josephlaw6589]

Excellent, superb and I love seeing you both!

[@chrisbanks6506]

Hope you had a great vacation. Happy you're back!

[@AlekSearcy]

Can you do an overview video of various amari, fortified wines, etc? I'd love to learn more about them side-by-side and perhaps which you think are the most essential/best value? I always feel a little lost browsing these at the store.

[@clarkmaharaj8304]

Great Charisma and great sense of humour

[@bryanmiller7234]

I have not bartended in my life and generally have total/complete ignorance when it comes to mixology. Your channel has inspired me try, while giving me a great reason to stock home bar. I tried this drink and I’m not a fan, but my wife likes it. All booze and easy to make so good for me regardless. Love your channel, content, and delivery. Keep up the excellent work. PS - I like Az’s opinion and descriptions on cocktails.

[@lekcom62]

I love both of you guys and it`s just my first day watching love your work I am excited to make my own for my self and my wife thankyou

[@michaelkubler8391]

Looking forward to trying this one! Also, yes it’s nice to see both of you.

[@anscad]

I've always wanted to know how to make cocktails since I know nothing about them. Thankfully I found your channel nd not only do I learn how to make them, I also learn some of the history o the drinks. Thank you. About to turn my unused study area in my Apartment into a home bar. Will be using your suggestions to stock it. Stay tuned.

[@TheDrewjameson]

You two are my favorite couple in the universe and the history of time

[@zackglenn2847]

I love seeing Az, you two have such great energy.

[@ashleyknight2344]

Y’all are adorable. I love when Oz is included!

[@stevenmcelroy1551]

I like when the two of you finish the show. It’s nice to hear Oz’s opinion and it good to see her. Thanks guys. I want to have a drink with you guys. 😎

[@02peroxide]

Live your channel! I was never big fan of cocktails but after seeing your videos you inspired me to make negroni and now I'm addicted to it and your channel! Great stuff Anders!

[@jcbrown5775]

You TWO have such a cool fun vibe. Really love learning from your channel. Everything I have made has been awesome, and my lady and I enjoy it all! Thanks for that!

[@woodbut1]

Love the history of the drinks, I find the stories fascinating......Thank you for everything..... :O)

[@mistersatansir]

Yes - we love when Az pops out from behind the camera to play at the bar. Otherwise, we'd never get to see that fantastic reaction at the end. Keep at it - swell stuff, this!

[@michaelvandewalle8843]

Love your content. Cheers from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@henryostman1199]

Great videos , great duo , keep em coming ! Keep Az up front with you too !

[@robertgrenader858]

I made something similar last night, with equal parts of Greenbar City Bright Gin, Dolia dry Vermouth, and Ittalicus. So delicious, I made two.

[@彦泽]

You guys have a nice, natural on camera chemistry. Whenever I see her on camera I end up imagining that I’m in her shows and drinking with you.

[@steveh4114]

Oz is Fun, too ! ... thanks for her perspective and coming out from behind the camera ! :-)

[@tvoboril25]

I would like to see Az give more tasting notes, I can see her in a restaurant, people at the table would be like" Yes, I can actually taste that" no fancy sommelier talk here. Love it!

[@donstriano8256]

Love coming back to your videos. Gonna try this one again. Wife didn’t like it first time around but she’s not here at the moment so…..here goes🍸

[@billmarx9332]

Excellent! And seeing Az, and having another (perhaps quite different?) palate providing an evaluation is a great idea. It makes your vids even better. 🙂

[@snoogins8455]

Love seeing you both on camera keep it up one of the best things on KZbin 😍

[@CodeMonkey66]

I think it's really great when Az comes around for a taste test and offers another opinion. My vote is to do that more for sure.

[@chrisdewalt2489]

I love hanging out with both of you. You guys are so down to earth and just a blast to watch!

[@michelhv]

Funny thing that Suze smuggling because over here in Quebec it’s always been readily available, plus we’re just a short drive off NYC. Oh, and you can swap Suze for Salers which is another yellow gentian grand bitter.

[@pattiaraque2147]

I love your stories and descriptions Anders. And I really appreciate your lovely colleague’s (girlfriend/wife/partner?) input too. I absolutely get her descriptions this one👍

[@ludovicb2973]

Just discovered the channel, and it’s super sweet !! Love your personality too

[@beyondmeldrew4358]

I only ever drink a white negroni on days that have a “y” in them. My preference is:- 40ml Tanqueray 10 30ml Dolin Blanc 20ml Suze Truly a cocktail to be cherished.

[@findlayrankin9769]

The Negroni and all it’s variations are all special for me. Swapping components and trying new vermouths and aperitifs keeps it interesting although nothing beats the classics.😉

[@marysalmon2367]

bitter, dry , dirt, not kidding, sounds good to me. And of course we love to see the beautiful and personable Az. You guys are a great team..right now, my favorite youtubers.

[@Shakafist]

Love this drink. I often use Salers aperitif in place of Suze and Cocchi Americano in place of Lillet. The Gentian flavor is so unique. I love it.

[@smhne8]

Anders, we just moved to a new state and are getting started again. Fortunately that state is AZ, so we really enjoy seeing Az at the end for her take…

[@aljosasatler1249]

Yes we want to see Az more, not that you are not enough (you are totally awesome), but you totally complement each other and making total balance like your cocktails.

[@ofcrlawless]

Love Az on the channel. You two are really fun to watch!

[@joseramos4537]

Always enjoyed seeing you two on the screen,great chemistry!

[@mick0880]

Love your channel! The cocktail history, the breakdown of the chemistry, and you guys just have a genuine vibe. I was recently introduced to the Mezcal Negroni which is my favorite cocktail currently (El Buho, Campari, Vermouth)…it’s a nice earthy/smoky taste. I will try this variation soon! Thanks!

[@gekyuume7432]

Hey Anders! I'm not usual to type a comment on youtube but i'm legittimately watching all your videos so, yeah. I just wanted to thank you sincerely for all the knowledge you're giving me. I am going to attend a bartender course soon and all these general hints you give in your videos (such as dry shaking for egg whites or the stir&strain technique for spirits only cocktails) are legit making me a better future bartender.

[@deanitorres8142]

Yes! More of the both of you! ☺️

[@burakcanik01]

You two have really good chemistry on camera! Keep the cocktails coming!

[@reloadsim5383]

I had to drive a whole hour to find Suze! After my so called voyage, came home and I was not disappointed with this cocktail. I went heavier on the Gin on my second drink. I used Uncle Val’s and on the second I used Monkey 47. Both were fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!

[@TheDeathbybanana]

Anders has the best youtube channel on this website don’t @ me. No but honestly though, I love all your content and I literally steal your weekly videos to decide what I’m making the next week for my day off. Paper Planes by the pool tomorrow and now I have another drink to add to my arsenal.

[@felixvasquez1740]

ohhh yess my favorite time of day is here. Nothing more to signify Friday vibes more then to watch this exquisite footage of the making of a cocktail I've never heard of before! Love it bro.

[@AndersErickson]

Happy Friday, Felix! Hope you can try this one!

[@ystebadvonschlegel3295]

I was like 999, so close to being the magic 1K like. Definitely making this cocktail, love your description and the history. My favorite drinks channel right now - thank you!

[@neil_chazin]

Almost to 100K subs! Seeing Az as she gives her takes is grand!

[@tropicalcycling]

One of the reasons this channel is so good is because of Az. When a professional bartender, or even someone that has been making and experimenting with drinks for years makes a video, you're never really sure how the cocktail will be received by a "normal" palate. While Az has certainly sampled many drinks she doesn't have the flavor profiles ingrained in her mind the way someone constantly tinkering does. Her reaction is the reaction to the WHOLE cocktail, not necessarily how each part plays. It's like the difference between a foodie and a professional chef. The foodie is really judging the whole dish, the chef is breaking each component down to see what could be improved or why something might be to their likening. All that is just a long way of saying...MORE AZ!!!!!!

[@valhala73]

Suze is great!!! Is true, you look good together and she should appear more in the show...

[@Plotinus75]

I tried equal parts tonight, and I totally agree. The balance was off. I will try your recipe tomorrow!

[@Plotinus75]

Your recipe was perfection. I loved it. What a wonderful summer drink.

[@russellzulkowski3190]

Substituted alpenbitter for suze with a few dashes of angostura orange bitters and an ungava gin base.

[@dannyk1818]

Yaaay Az & Yaaay almost at 100k! I consumed the last of my Suze almost 6 months ago and now can’t find it anywhere near me, but had obviously made a White Negroni and it is one of my favourite ways to start an evening. Great stuff as always!

[@kevinhumphrey4072]

Couple dashes of bitter sling grapefruit and hops bitters in one of these is amazing.
