In Joaquín Simó‘s spin on the classic Negroni, smoky mezcal replaces the usual piney gin, while gentian-bittered Bonal subs in for the traditional sweet vermouth and Cynar, an artichoke-driven amaro, takes the place of the expected Campari.

Ingredients

Serving: 1

  • 1 ounce mezcal, preferably Del Maguey Vida
  • 1 ounce Bonal
  • 1 ounce Cynar
  • 1 dash Bittermen's Mole Bitters

Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass over ice and stir until chilled.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
