Tequila Negroni is a fun variation of our favorite classic cocktail. It's made with tequila instead of gin and garnished with a lime peel for a little Mexican fusion. There's also the option of making this a spicy tequila negroni! As much as we adore a classic negroni, we also love playing with new variations. This tequila version was born when we ran out of gin and decided to get creative.
