Sips & Tips
Technique
Use a reposado tequila — the barrel aging adds vanilla and spice notes that complement the Campari beautifully. Stir until properly chilled and diluted.
Balance
The agave character of tequila brings an earthy, vegetal note that's different from gin's botanicals. It's a fascinating variation that works surprisingly well.
History
Variations
Rosita
The classic version uses equal parts tequila, Campari, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth for a drier, more complex drink.
