History

Adapted from a 2017 recipe by Charlie Martin at Eclipse Restaurant, Saint Louis, USA, who says, "I wanted a version of the Negroni that used mezcal as the base spirit and Suze as the bittering agent. Whipped this drink up and now it's on our menu! Rarely you nail it on the first try but this one is perfect!"

Charlie's original recipe calls for equal parts: Suze, Vida Mezcal and Carpano Dry vermouth.

Tried this a few times in the hope I grow to like it more each time. Equal parts Suze, dolin dry vermouth and ojo de dios mezcal, all the lovely earthy and smokey vanilla you'd expect but with an amazing charred grapefruit note via the dolin. Exceptional stuff!

Was expecting the Suze to be much more present, maybe having used a bottle that is several months old had something to do with it. Also used a grapefruit peel as garnish as I believe a bit of tart would balance the drink and I think it was an improvement
