Squeaky Wheel

Another brilliant, bitter interpretation of the Negroni format. This version splits the base to include mezcal alongside a robust aged rum, pairing them with Campari, sweet vermouth, and a touch of coffee liqueur for added darkness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal

  • 1 oz. Campari

  • ¾ oz. coffee liqueur

  • ¼ oz. amaretto

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Instructions:

  • Stir all the ingredients together in a mixing tin with ice, then strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Express the oils of the orange peel over the top of the drink and use as a garnish.
