Tequila Negroni Recipe
Description
The Tequila Negroni combines blanco tequila, Campari, and sweet vermouth in equal measures. Stirring these ingredients with ice chills and dilutes the mixture slightly, harmonizing the bold flavors. The addition of Ancho Reyes is optional and introduces a smoky, chili pepper heat that complements the bitterness of Campari and the sweetness of the vermouth. Once stirred, the cocktail is strained over fresh ice in a lowball glass.
Lime garnish adds a citrus aroma and a slight brightness that contrasts the drink’s herbal bitterness, enhancing the tasting experience. This cocktail adapts the classic Negroni formula by integrating the distinctive flavor of tequila, providing a different foundation while maintaining the original’s complex balance.
For parties, the recipe can be scaled to pitchers by combining equal volumes of the liquors with minimal ice to maintain flavor concentration until served. Adjust garnish style as preferred between lime peel, wedge, or dehydrated wheel.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce blanco tequila (white tequila)
- 1 ounce Campari
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 1 ounce Ancho Reyes optional - see notes
- lime to garnish, peel, wedge, or dehydrated wheel
Instructions
- Place a small handful of ice into a cocktail glass or 2-cup mason jar.
- Add the tequila, Campari, sweet vermouth, and (if using) the Ancho Reyes and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a low ball glass with a large ice cube or 2-3 small ice cubes then garnish with lime.
Notes
- To make a pitcher of tequila negronis, combine equal parts tequila, Campari, and sweet vermouth with minimal ice and stir.
- Adding Ancho Reyes gives a spicy twist but is optional based on taste preference.
