All you need to make this is a glass and a spoon. We’ve switched out the tequila from the original noughties twist on the negroni and instead brought forward our favourite spirit, mezcal, to bring a lightly smoky profile to proceedings. The perfect pairing for this drink is a campfire, so it’s an especially good one to premix in a flask and chuck in your backpack for a spring camping trip.
La rosita
Serves 1
30ml mezcal – we use La Medida Espadin
20ml Campari, or any other bitter aperitivo
15ml sweet vermouth – we use Dolin Rouge
15ml dry vermouth – we use Dolin Dry
1 twist orange zest, to garnish
Measure everything into a mixing glass or jug filled with ice, then strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (we use a single large cube), garnish and serve.
