Someone took a classic Negroni, swapped the gin for smoky Oaxacan mezcal, and accidentally created one of the most talked-about cocktails of the last decade. Equal parts espadín mezcal, Campari, and sweet vermouth — stirred slow, strained over a single large cube, finished with an expressed orange peel — and the whole thing tastes like a campfire learned to be elegant. The real story though is what buying the right bottle actually means for the Zapotec families in Oaxaca who built this culture long before it was cool.
