Ancho Mezcal Negroni

The Negroni has reached cult-like status in recent years, a classic cocktail that is the holy trinity of Gin, Campari, and Sweet Vermouth. Known for being both bitter and sweet, the Negroni is a complex cocktail that is a great format for variation. Swap the Gin for rum and you have a Jamaican Negroni. Build with Tequila and you have a Rosita. Use Bourbon and you have a Boulevardier. Sub Ancho Libre Infused Mezcal and you’ve got your own variation on the Negroni that is smoky, spicy, and reminiscent of the savory culinary dishes found in Oaxaca, Mexico. This cocktail is arm-chair travel at its best!

¡Salud!
