About
This cocktail was created in 2017 by Sam Ross (@samueljoelross) at Attaboy (@attaboy134) in New York City. I’ve seen it described as an extra-bitter tequila Negroni of sorts, which feels spot on. Cocchi Americano and St. George Bruto Americano push the bitter, citrusy side further than a standard Negroni template, and Ross has also noted that mezcal works great here if you want to take it in a smokier direction. Worth noting, I’ve also come across two other cocktails floating around under the same Del Rio name that are completely different drinks, so this is specifically the Sam Ross version from Attaboy.Cheers y’all!
