Story
You suggested this modern classic after I asked for cocktails combining Amaro Nonino and tequila. It originated at Death & Co, serving as the bridge between traditional agave spirits and Italian amari by substituting the sweetener for a botanical liqueur.
Method
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass.
- Add ice and stir until well chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a large clear ice cube.
- Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Notes
- Use a lightly smoky mezcal — anything too aggressive overpowers the delicate alpine notes of the Nonino.
