A smoky, bittersweet Negroni riff (inspired by Joaquin Simo’s modern classic Kingston Negroni) with notes of blackberry and roasted tropical fruit 🥃🫐 The blend of mezcal and Overproof Jamaican rum results in a base with notes of roasted tropical fruit, citrus zest, and smoke that pairs nicely with the bittersweet Campari. The bittersweet notes in the Campari also work in great harmony with berry flavors (blackberry in this case) and the cocoa and vanilla notes in the sweet vermouth. This one is a delightful sipper! .75 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas has great notes of fruit and smoke) Fat .25 oz Jamaican Overproof Rum (Smith & Cross; Hampden Overproof, etc) 1 oz Campari (feel free to substitute other favorite red bittersweet aperitivo) .75 oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica or Cocchi Vermouth di Torino are best choices) .25 oz Blackberry Liqueur (Giffard or Leopold Brothers) Stir with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a lemon twist #weekendtiki
