Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Classic Mezcal Negroni
This stirred cocktail is all about balance — the smoky depth of mezcal, the bittersweet pull of Campari, and the rich, herbal warmth of sweet vermouth coming together in one beautifully chilled glass. That final twist of orange peel isn't just for looks; expressing the oils over the surface adds a bright, citrusy lift that ties every element together. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means scrutinizing ingredient lists for common trigger foods, and this drink keeps things refreshingly straightforward — just three spirits and a garnish, with no hidden dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, or nuts anywhere in the glass. The technique matters here: a proper 20-to-25-second stir chills and dilutes the drink to exactly the right point, so nothing tastes harsh or overwhelming. Pouring over a large ice cube slows dilution further, meaning you can sip slowly and savor every layer. It's the kind of cocktail that feels special enough for a dinner party but simple enough to make on a quiet weeknight.
