I MADE this while i was making drinks and wow this is a DRINK. smooth subtled balanced superb. i also made a cynar version - swapping out the campari. not as good as this recipe but still a worthy riff if you're a cynar fan. viva mexico viva la vida loca.
The "smoke" from the tequila/mezcal are a nice way to add some more complexity without adding to the sweetness/bitterness. For my taste, I think I'd prefer this over a classic Negroni.
