M & M
Deliciously simple, boozy, vaguely Negroni-like, very tasty and perfect for late-night sipping

Twin souls these are. A perfect marriage. It's a bit perplexing.

For me this is a drink that's "better than you'd think" after seeing the recipe. But that doesn't make it an awesome drink. It's drinkable but I don't think I'd stir another anytime soon.

Magic, never would have guessed these would go together.

This is an unexpectedly excellent digestif, especially on a snowy winter evening following a warming meal.
It looks like we owe thanks for the Monte y Mezcal to Marco Montefiori of Amaro Montenegro and NYC barkeep Robert Krueger. (https://punchdrink.com/articles/do-you-even-mm-montenegro-mezcal-shot/)
A 50/50 shot that began as a bartender's handshake had evolved into a cocktail by at least 2015. (https://bevvy.co/articles/amaro-montenegro-cocktails-for-drinking/10233)

Stir 1 part of a M&M with a 2-5 parts of grapefruit juice for a great low-alcohol cocktail.

Following up on my note above, my wife and I just did a double-blind taste testing of the M&M using 3 different mezcals — Sombra, Wahaka and Alipus San Luis. While all are Tahona-milled copper-distilled Joven Espadin mezcals from Oaxaca, the choice of mezcal makes a huge difference in how the M&M tastes. Sombra wins our gold as the best pairing with Amaro Montenegro. Wahaca captures silver with a richer, more rounded mouthfeel. Alipus San Luis earns bronze with a brighter profile.

Note for myself: I liked it, but I think it's a fun one to serve to guests. My family couldn't guess what was in it! It's just a tiny bit sweet, but not too much.
