Pescatarian Classic Mezcal Negroni
Smoky, bittersweet, and undeniably sophisticated, this mezcal twist on a beloved classic is the kind of cocktail that makes a regular Tuesday feel like a special occasion. The mezcal brings a gentle earthiness that plays beautifully against the herbal bitterness of Campari and the rich, slightly sweet depth of vermouth — it's a trio that just works. Stirring rather than shaking is the move here, keeping the drink silky and perfectly diluted without any unwanted cloudiness. That final step with the orange peel is more than garnish — expressing the oils over the glass adds a bright citrus aroma that ties the whole thing together. Since this cocktail is built entirely from spirits and a fresh orange peel, it fits naturally into a pescatarian lifestyle with zero compromises or substitutions needed. Whether you're mixing for a dinner party or just winding down after a long day, this one is worth keeping in your regular rotation.
