Ingredients: 1 oz mezcal; ½ oz tequila; 1 oz Campari; 1 oz sweet vermouth

A smoky Mexican riff on the Negroni that substitutes mezcal and a touch of blanco tequila for gin — the earthy, smoky agave character plays beautifully against Campari's bitter orange and sweet vermouth's richness, a modern classic in any agave-forward bar.

Oaxacan Negroni

Cocktails carrying smoke from mezcal, peated Scotch, or a flamed element. Smoky drinks are bold and atmospheric.

Smoky

Cocktails with a pronounced bitter backbone, typically from amari, Campari, gentian, or bitters. Bitter drinks stimulate the appetite and pair especially well with other bold flavors.

Bitter

Cocktails with intense, assertive flavors — heavy on spirit, bitter, or smoke. Bold drinks make a statement.

Bold

Cocktails where no single element dominates — the spirit, acid, and sweetness are in harmony. Classic sours and well-built stirred drinks often land here.
