Review

Reposado rather than banco tequila, and a rosso alla vaniglia vermouth rather than a rosso vermouth, help round this tasty riff on a classic gin-based Negroni.

Instant recipe tweak pre stir. 3:2:2 with 2 drops Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters. Only then would I do it again.

Did it with blanco tequila (the blanco that I have is way better than my reposado) and it wirh really delightful... I prefered this one over the "classic" negroni that I've made this same night !

I used Epsolon Reposado, Contratto Bitter, and Antica Formula. A fine Negroni variant.

Very well rounded; especially if you use something other than Campari, which I find deeply one dimensional

Just tried with Teremana Anejo, Antica Formula and Montenegro. The Teremana Anejo is so vanilla sweet from the aging it's almost like a Bourbon and it complements the Antica so well. The Montenegro adds a candy shop complexity.

Absolutely refreshing! Great alternative to a regular Negroni. I used Olmeca Altos Reposado, Carpano Bitter and Spriteriet Röd (red) Vermouth.
