Hidden World

In Joaquín Simó‘s spin on the classic Negroni, smoky mezcal replaces the usual piney gin, while gentian-bittered Bonal subs in for the traditional sweet vermouth and Cynar, an artichoke-driven amaro, takes the place of the expected Campari.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal

  • 1 oz. aquavit (D&C uses Krogstad)

  • ¾ oz. fresh lime juice

  • ½ oz. vanilla syrup

  • 2 tsp. mango puree

  • 1 tsp. ginger syrup

  • 1 dash saline solution (1:5)

Instructions:

  • Add all ingredients to an ice-filled shaker, then shake until combined. Strain the cocktail over one large ice cube in a double Old Fashioned glass. Garnish.
