NOTES:
This swaps gin's juniper snap for Blanc's grassy rhum agricole profile, a different drink in spirit, not just a substitution, so expect a softer, more tropical read on the original.
HISTORY
Adapted from Ben Howell's White Negroni & Tonic at Rolo's in Queens, NY. Choeng Doi Blanc replaces the gin base, trading a juniper backbone for a grassy rhum agricole character alongside the Luxardo Bitter Bianco and Cocchi Americano Bianco.
