About
The Oaxacan Negroni is a sophisticated riff on the classic Negroni that splits the base spirit between reposado tequila and mezcal, celebrating the agave spirits of Oaxaca in a single glass. The reposado tequila brings warmth and a subtle oakiness while the mezcal contributes its signature smokiness, and both play harmoniously against the bitter orange punch of Campari and the herbal sweetness of vermouth. A dash of orange bitters ties everything together and adds aromatic complexity. This drink sits at the crossroads of Italy and Mexico — equal parts elegant aperitivo and smoky agave adventure.

1 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 dash Orange Bitters
1 oz Campari
0.5 oz Mezcal
