Desert Negroni

A Myatt’s Fields adaptation of the Negroni.

Tequila, Vermouth, and Campari ABV 26.9

One 75ml serving of Desert Negroni contains 151 calories

We replaced the gin with mezcal and worked back from there. The Campari stays. The vermouth blend is adjusted to accommodate the weight of the agave spirit. The whole thing is aged for six weeks, as all of our vermouth-forward drinks are.

What emerges is smokier and more complex than a standard Negroni. The agave gives it an earthiness that gin cannot replicate. The Campari bitterness is still present, the sweet vermouth still rounds it off, but the mezcal takes it somewhere else entirely.

This is not a Negroni variation in the diluted sense. The proportions are the same, the discipline is the same. It just tastes of the desert.
