The Frank

The Frank is a complex, equal-parts riff on a traditional Negroni. It stirs together a delicate balance of mezcal, blanco tequila, Italian red bitter liqueur (like Campari), Amaro Montenegro, and both dry and sweet vermouths. The resulting six-ingredient apéritif retains a bittersweet, agave-laced character, where smoky and dark fruit notes are beautifully mellowed by the rich botanical backbone.

Ingredients:

• 15 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 15 ml Patrón Silver blanco tequila

• 15 ml Strucchi Red Bitter (Campari-style liqueur)

• 15 ml Amaro (e.g. Montenegro)

• 15 ml Strucchi Dry Vermouth

• 15 ml Strucchi Rosso Vermouth

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a coupe glass

• Prepare a garnish of a quarter orange slice wheel on the rim.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Fine strain into a chilled glass

• Garnish with a quarter orange slice on rim.
