This is Part 1 of my Negroni Series — where I show you how to take a classic drink and add simple infusions to take it to the next level. And even if you don’t like negronis… trust me, after this one? You will.
THE DRINK:
1 oz ancho chili infused mezcal
1 oz strawberry Campari
1 oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes chocolate bitters
Combine, stir, and strain over a large rock. Garnish with freeze-dried strawberries.
THE INFUSIONS:
Ancho Chili Mezcal — 240ml mezcal (1 cup) + 1 dried ancho chili, toasted and broken into pieces. Seal and infuse for 24 hours. Strain through coffee filters.
Strawberry Campari — 240ml Campari (1 cup) + 16–18g freeze-dried strawberries. Seal and infuse for 24 hours. Strain through coffee filters.
I’m using a chamber vac for my infusions but a sealable jar or container works just fine. Taste test after 24 hours — leave it longer if you want more impactful flavor.
Save this. Try it and let me know what you think.
