History
Featuring three ingredients in equal proportions, this cocktail adheres to a classic formula, resulting in a dry, spirit-forward apéritif. It bears a strong resemblance to a Maximiliano. For context, Jersey's Best Dancers is the third studio album by the band Lifetime, hailing from New Jersey, and was released in June 1997.
This drink is adapted from a 2017 recipe by Charlie Martin at Eclipse Restaurant in Saint Louis, USA. Martin explains, "I wanted a version of the Negroni that used mezcal as the base spirit and Suze as the bittering agent. Whipped this drink up and now it's on our menu! Rarely you nail it on the first try but this one is perfect!" Charlie's original recipe uses equal parts Suze, Vida Mezcal, and Carpano Dry vermouth.
