Tequila Negroni Cocktail

Tequila Negroni Cocktail


The Negroni cocktail consists of equals parts of gin, red vermouth and campari spirits.  The first time  I ordered a Negroni, I just had to have a second round because it is just so unique and  zesty. Complicated cocktails are the rage these days but in my home bar, I stick to simple.  I prefer my spirits neat and on occasion with no more than 3 ingredients plus a twist.

The Negroni is jammed with flavors derived from three ingredients, each already packed with herbie aromas and tastes.  It has inspired many cocktails including a tequila-based version sometimes called a Agavoni or Tegroni.  There is a mezcal version as well.   I’m more likely to have tequila in my cabinet than gin so lets go make a Tequila Negroni.  Salud.
