Description: A tequila-based Negroni cousin, combining Campari and both vermouths for a bittersweet, agave-forward drink.
Cultural Background: A 1970s-era American classic, one of several tequila adaptations of the classic Negroni-style bitter cocktail template.
Tips: A good blanco or reposado tequila works well against the Campari's bitterness.
