Mezcal Negroni

Mezcal Negroni: Mezcal, Campari and Sweet red vermouth. Served in an old-fashioned glass.

The Spec

• 30 ml Mezcal
• 30 ml Campari
• 30 ml Sweet red vermouth

Method

Stir all ingredients with ice until well chilled and diluted, then strain over fresh ice (ideally one large cube) in a rocks glass. Difford's builds it directly in an ice-filled glass and stirs, which is also acceptable for a Negroni; either way it is stirred, never shaken.

Served in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish: orange peel (expressed over the drink), or an orange slice/wheel.

Spec held as sourced — Difford's Guide. The house never guesses a drink.
