Sips & Tips
Technique
Stir, don't shake — you want a silky texture without air bubbles. The smoke from the mezcal adds a dramatic new dimension to the classic Negroni template.
Balance
Use a lighter mezcal (Del Maguey Vida) so the smoke doesn't overwhelm the Campari and vermouth. The three ingredients should be in conversation, not competition.

Split the base: ½ oz mezcal + ½ oz tequila for a gentler smoke with agave sweetness.
