notes & variations

• Mace can be left out to keep a more classic version of a mezcal Negroni or feel free to add any another spice.

• Large ice cubes are extremely fun and a great way to elevate a cocktail! Many online and restaurant stores have large ice cube trays with cube and circular variations.

• We recommend using Mezcal to have a smoky smooth taste! Some affordable and tasty brands that work well with this drink are_ Del Maguey Vida and Los Vecinos. If you have a favorite mezcal, use that one!

• A classic Negroni is made with Campari, however there are many delectable substitutes for Campari, such as_ Contratto Bitter, Caffo Red Bitter, Luxardo Bitter.

• We prefer the Purana on a big ice cube; but, if you prefer drinks served up, go for it!
