About
This cocktail was created by Martin Foys (@theginpennant) as an accidental riff on the Squeaky Wheel by Nicholas Bennett that I had shared. That drink essentially takes a mezcal Negroni and replaces the sweet vermouth with coffee liqueur and amaretto. When Martin went to make one, he accidentally replaced the Campari instead, leaving the sweet vermouth in place, and The Sequel was born. It keeps the coffee and almond combination but lands softer and less bitter than the drink that inspired it.Cheers y’all!
