Swapping gin for mezcal brings a smoky, earthy edge to the classic bitter-sweet Negroni. Equal parts mezcal, Campari, and sweet vermouth are stirred over ice until cold and silky, then served over a single large ice cube with an orange peel. It makes a bold pre-dinner sipper for two.

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce mezcal
  • 1 ounce Campari
  • 1 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 1 orange peel, for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method

  1. Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes.

  2. Pour the mezcal, Campari, and sweet vermouth over the ice.

  3. Stir briskly with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds, until the outside of the glass feels cold.

  4. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.

  5. Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in or rest it on the rim and serve.
