History

Mezcal Negroni is a smoky twist on the classic Italian aperitivo, substituting mezcal for gin. This variation adds rich, smoky layers while maintaining the bitter-sweet balance of red bitter liqueur and vermouth. A favorite for mezcal lovers, it transforms the traditional Negroni into a digestivo with complex, earthy flavors that invite slow savoring and appreciation of mezcal’s distinctive character.
