For those seeking the sophisticated bitterness of a classic Negroni without the spirits, Chef Richard Sandoval presents a crisp and botanical alternative. This Aloe & Apple White No-Groni from the Art of Zero-Proof collection elegantly reimagines the 1910s original. It swaps gin for the herbal notes of Seedlip Garden 108. Additionally, it tempers the aperitif’s bite with fresh aloe vera and a tart apple shrub. The result is a balanced, pre-batched cocktail that’s both a refreshment and a revelation.
