Rosemary lends extra aromatics to this Negroni riff.

This mezcal Negroni matches the agave spirit’s earthiness with the herbaceous aroma of rosemary.

Ingredients

1¼ oz. mezcal
1½ oz. Cocchi Americano Rosa
½ oz. Campari

Tools:barspoon, strainer
Glass:Old Fashioned
Garnish:grapefruit twist, rosemary sprig

Preparation

Stir all of the ingredients with ice to chill, then strain into an ice-filled glass. Twist a piece of grapefruit peel over the drink, then pierce the twist with a rosemary sprig and use as garnish.
