The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/negroni-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/negroni-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic Negroni<\/a> is already near perfect with its three ingredients\u2014gin, Campari and sweet vermouth\u2014in equal parts. But replacing the botanical gin with smoky mezcal balances Campari&#8217;s elegant herbal bitterness to make a true work of art.<\/p>\n<p>Mezcal&#8217;s smokiness makes this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/negroni-recipe-variations\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/negroni-recipe-variations\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Negroni variation<\/a>\u00a0perfect for sipping while curled up by a crackling fire come the colder months, but there&#8217;s no need to limit the mezcal Negroni to sweater weather. As a lover of all things agave, I can assure you that this tipple hits the spot in any season.<\/p>\n<h2>Mezcal Negroni Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Campari:<\/strong> Like a classic Negroni, the mezcal version requires Campari. This bitter, herbaceous, spicy aperitif has a hint of sunny citrus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mezcal:<\/strong> Aging isn&#8217;t as important in the mezcal world as it is with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-tequila-made-from\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-tequila-made-from\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tequila<\/a>, but both joven and reposado mezcals are lovely in a Negroni. Whatever you do, pick up a good-quality mezcal. Please, no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/tequila-worm\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/tequila-worm\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tequila worms<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweet vermouth: <\/strong>Nothing balances the bitterness of Campari quite like sweet vermouth. I&#8217;m partial to Carpano Antica, but I recommend checking out Punt e Mes, Dolin and Martini &#038; Rossi as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange garnish:<\/strong> A simple orange slice or peel is ideal for a mezcal Negroni. If using orange peel, gently squeeze it over the cocktail to release a whisper-thin layer of orange oils, which adds a beautiful citrusy finishing touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Combine the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the Campari, mezcal and sweet vermouth into a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Strain, garnish and serve<\/h3>\n<p>Place a large ice cube into a chilled old-fashioned glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with an orange slice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> A single large ice cube melts more slowly, allowing ample time to enjoy your Negroni without diluting it. If you&#8217;re serious about cocktails, it&#8217;s worth investing in a couple of large ice molds.

Try using mezcal instead of the gin to make a white mezcal Negroni. It&#8217;s a sublime summer drink.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix yourself a Rosita:<\/strong> Combine 1-1\/2 ounces of tequila, 1\/2 ounce of dry vermouth, 1\/2 ounce of sweet vermouth and 1\/2 ounce of Campari.

Garnish it with a grapefruit peel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Cynar:<\/strong> This mezcal Negroni recipe variation is a big hit with cocktail enthusiasts. Instead of Campari, use Cynar, a bittersweet, artichoke-dominant Italian aperitif.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you make a mezcal Negroni ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to this spirit-heavy recipe, Negronis are stellar for making ahead. Some folks (and bars) even age their Negronis in miniature oak barrels. (Aging the cocktail in a barrel adds more depth and complexity, rounding off harsh notes while adding a hint of oaky aromas and flavors.) After mixing the batch of Negronis, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to one month. When cocktail hour arrives, pop a large ice cube into a nicely chilled rocks glass and pour the Negroni over the ice.<\/p>\n<h2>Mezcal Negroni Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2028672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mezcal-Negroni_TOHcom24_276773_DR_05_09_22b_AI.jpg\" alt=\"high angle shot of mezcal negroni garnished with orange peel\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What type of glass do you use for a mezcal Negroni?<\/h3>\n<p>Specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cocktail-glasses\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cocktail-glasses\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cocktail glasses<\/a> make a difference in the enjoyment of certain drinks, and the Negroni and its many iterations fall into that camp. Like other spirit-forward libations, you&#8217;ll want to reach for an old-fashioned or rocks glass for your mezcal Negroni.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best type of mezcal for a mezcal Negroni?<\/h3>\n<p>Both joven (unaged) and reposado (aged between 2 to 12 months) make brilliant cocktails. While a good-quality mezcal is a must for mezcal Negronis, you don&#8217;t need to get wildly expensive. Save the spendy bottles for sipping. A few mezcal producers to look for when stocking your bar cart are Del Maguey Vida, Banhez and Rey Campero.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with a mezcal Negroni?<\/h3>\n<p>As an aperitif cocktail, this Negroni variant goes well with a cheese or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/charcuterie-board-ideas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/charcuterie-board-ideas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">charcuterie board<\/a>.
