Equal parts punt e mes, mezcal, and cynar 70 (subbed for campari), stirred over ice.

Someone suggested swapping cynar for campari in a negroni riff was great, so I did. It's so bitter, dry and smooth I can hardly even taste the mezcal. Feels like the sides of my tongue will go numb eventually. But every sip tastes better.

Even as a lover of all things bitter, maybe I've gone too far this time. But very well suited for after a very tough day.
