Tegroni DRINK OF THE SEASON

The Negroni—equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth—is arguably the most riffed-upon drink on the planet. One of the tastiest versions swaps tequila for gin, creating a Tegroni (page 132). The grassy, vegetal notes of tequila—blanco or reposado are both terrific—bring a new dimension to the drink, and instead of an orange twist, we use grapefruit, which has an affinity for agave-based spirits.
