I want something with gin that is similar to a Negroni but less dry.
Cocktail Colin says:
I found a cocktail that might interest you. It has a lower rating but it's similar to a Negroni and has a slightly lower alcohol content. It's called the "Summer Negroni." It contains gin, Lillet Blanc, and Aperol, providing a different flavor profile while still keeping the gin base.
