Oaxacan Negroni
The Awoken Negroni is a modern twist on the classic Negroni, which dates back to the early 20th century. The original Negroni was created when a guest requested a stronger cocktail than his usual Americano, a mix of sweet vermouth, Campari, and sparkling water. The bartender replaced the water with gin, creating a new, stronger drink. The Awoken Negroni takes this classic recipe and adds a twist by substituting gin with Mezcal, giving it an earthy, smoky flavor.
