4 tips for the perfect Mezcal Negroni

Choose a good mezcal
Mezcal is the key ingredient in this cocktail, so be sure to choose a quality mezcal with a smoky and complex flavor. Try to find a mezcal that suits your preference and budget.

Adjust the bitterness
The traditional Negroni is known for its bitter taste, but with the addition of mezcal, it can be a good idea to adjust the bitterness. You can reduce the amount of Campari or Aperol a little to balance the taste and make room for the characteristic smoky taste of mezcal.

Garnish with citrus:
Add a slice of orange peel as a garnish to your Mezcal Negroni. The natural sweetness and citrus aroma of the orange pairs well with the flavor of the mezcal and adds to the visual appeal of the cocktail.
