A cross between two prizefighters: a Negroni and a Carajillo.

Red Fox in Boston’s North End combines two beloved classics—the Negroni and the Carajillo—to create the Camparajillo. Still-strength blanco tequila and mezcal give the coffee cocktail a boozy agave backbone.

Ingredients

1 oz. Campari
1/2 oz. coffee liqueur
1/2 oz. Licor 43
1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
1/4 oz. still-strength blanco tequila
1/4 oz. mezcal

Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
Glass:double Old Fashioned
Garnish:single espresso bean

Preparation

Add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice, then stir until chilled, about 20 seconds. Pour into a glass over a large ice cube. Express then orange twist over the cocktail and discard. Garnish.
