Mezcal Negroni is a smoky twist on a classic cocktail. The assertive, smoke-like flavor of mezcal pairs well with bitter Campari and sweet vermouth. If you're a Negroni fan, you need to try this version! Mezcal has a wonderful smoky taste and is plenty bold enough to stand up to the big flavors in Campari and sweet vermouth. The three play very well together to create a complexly flavored drink that is very easy to sip.
