Desert Negroni

A Myatt’s Fields adaptation of the Negroni.

Blanco tequila, sweet vermouth and Campari ABV 27.2%

One 75ml serving of Desert Negroni contains 151 calories

We replaced the gin with tequila and worked back from there. The Campari stays. The vermouth blend is adjusted to carry the weight of the agave spirit. The whole thing is aged for six weeks, as all of our vermouth-forward drinks are.

What emerges is drier and more savoury than a standard Negroni. The agave brings an earthiness that gin cannot replicate. The Campari bitterness is still there and the sweet vermouth still rounds it off, but the tequila takes it somewhere else entirely.

This is not a Negroni variation in the diluted sense. The discipline is the same. It just tastes of the desert.
