Inspired by Mexico’s vibrant Oaxaca state, the Oaxacan Negroni is a smoky testament to the versatility of the original recipe. Using the classic equal parts ratio, gin is replaced with mezcal, and with it comes an avalanche of new flavors. During mezcal’s production process, the agave is roasted in fire pits, giving the spirit its earthy, nutty, savory, and smoky character.
Combine that with the citrus, spice, herbal, and wooded flavors of Campari and vermouth, and you’ve got a cocktail flavor bomb. The Oaxacan Negroni is more than just a cocktail. It’s a cultural experience that features the best of Mexico and Italy.
