Tree Nut Free Classic Mezcal Negroni
Smoky, bittersweet, and endlessly sophisticated, this mezcal twist on a timeless stirred cocktail is the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel like a special occasion. The mezcal brings a gorgeous smokiness that plays beautifully against the bitter orange notes of Campari and the rich, herbal sweetness of vermouth. Every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts — no flavored spirits, no nut-based liqueurs, no hidden almond syrups to second-guess on the label. Stirring rather than shaking is the move, giving you a silky, perfectly diluted pour that's crystal clear and deeply aromatic. The finishing touch — a firm twist of fresh orange peel expressed right over the glass — releases fragrant citrus oils that lift the whole drink before you even take a sip. It's a three-ingredient cocktail that rewards a little patience and technique, and once you've made it this way, there's really no going back.
