No trip to New York is complete without an afternoon/evening/late night exploring the Negroni menu at Dante.
Run by Aussie legend Naren Young, the West Village bar has more than a few gems on offer, including what really should be your new favourite modern classic cocktail: The Negroni Bianco.
Perfectly balanced and best made with gin from NYC itself, the Negroni Bianco is a visual feast – those delicate flowers really take it up a notch – as well as a damn tasty drink.
Try it yourself with Young’s exact recipe:
