This easy riff on the Negroni substitutes robust genever for sprightly gin. Bols Genever spotlights it as a sassy homage to the red-light district in Amsterdam, near to the producer’s headquarters. It’s even served there in lightbulb-shaped vessels. Similar novelty glasses can be purchased online, though the cocktail tastes just as good in a rocks glass.
