Seed Oil Free Classic Mezcal Negroni
The smoky depth of mezcal transforms this iconic stirred cocktail into something genuinely special — bittersweet, complex, and endlessly sippable. Most cocktails like this are naturally free of industrial seed oils, but it's still worth knowing exactly what's in your glass, and here every ingredient is clean and straightforward. The mezcal brings earthy, lightly charred character that plays beautifully against the herbal bitterness of Campari and the rich, spiced sweetness of vermouth. Stirring rather than shaking is the move here — it chills and dilutes the drink without clouding it, giving you that silky, restaurant-quality texture at home. The finishing touch is the expressed orange peel, which releases bright citrus oils across the surface and adds an aromatic lift that ties the whole drink together. Whether you reach for a joven for something cleaner or a reposado for a little extra oak, this is a cocktail worth making slowly and savoring even more slowly.
