Who says you can't be in two places at once? With this cocktail you can be in Mexico and Italy at the same time. Swapping the gin for mezcal adds a slight smoky touch to the classic aperitif while maintaining its beloved simplicity. Choosing a lighter mezcal, such as Del Maguey Vida, allows the vermouth and orange zest to shine without overpowering the drink.
