For those of you who do not like Campari—I fall firmly into that camp—there is a way to make a version of the famous cocktail the Negroni, but made with Lillet instead of Campari and dry vermouth instead of red vermouth. My husband made these with Lillet Rouge although the better known white Lillet is great for this drink as well. Eric added a dash of cherry bitters which gave it a slight amaro bitterness without the polarizing bitterness of Campari.
