Negroni

The Negroni is a Mexican twist on the classic Negroni cocktail, substituting mezcal for gin and chili liqueur for Campari. This drink maintains the perfect three-part structure of a Negroni but infuses it with Mexican spiciness. The sweetness of the red vermouth balances the smokiness of the mezcal and the heat of the chili, while a sprinkle of sea salt adds an extra layer of flavor.
