The Antidote

Antidote is a bold, spirit-forward riff on a classic Negroni that swaps out traditional gin for the earthy magic of Mezcal Rosaluna. It carefully builds 1.5 oz of the smoky mezcal with 1 oz of sweet vermouth and 0.75 oz of a bittersweet aperitivo. Stirred gently with ice to perfectly chill and dilute the spirits, it is then strained into a chilled rocks glass over fresh ice. This deeply complex, red-hued sipper is elegantly finished with a long, aromatic grapefruit swath.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz Mezcal Rosaluna

  • 1. oz Vermouth

  • 0.75 oz Aperitivo

  • Garnish: Grapefruit swath

Instructions:

  • Mezcal is magic. Sometimes it’s medicine, too. That’s right: we found the cure to a spinning mind and feed fatigue—a Negroni with a splash of Rosaluna Mezcal and a swath of grapefruit.

  • Stir the ingredients with a bit of ice before straining into a chilled rocks glass filled with, yep—more ice. Garnish with a grapefruit swath and put your phone away.
