I have used a San Cosme smoky mezcal and it’s still a very nice cocktail.

I love the spice mezcal brings to a Negroni that is going beyond the mellowness of a regular Negroni and much rougher than a boulevardier. I still wouldn't choose a very smokey mezcal, as the flavor will stand out a lot. I use a tamer mezcal with fruitier notes than for example Del Maguey Vida.

The quest for the perfect Megroni is on!

I only have Del Maguey. Any recommendations for a mezcal like you're suggesting?

"dilute" the mezcal 50/50 with Blanco tequila

A go to negroni for me. For mezcal, I use Montelobos Espadin, and for the Italian red bitters, I use Rinomato L'Aperitivo Deciso. Adding some lime or lemon adds a little acidity to the smokiness of the cocktail.

I realize this commenter was Anonymous, but posting it for others to possibly chime in:
How does the Rinomato compare to Campari?

Added a squeeze of lime for acidity and freshness and it took the drink to another level
