I named this cocktail in honor of my new instagram handle: @cocktail.complex ! This drink is a Negroni riff with a split base of spirits with pineapple infused Campari, two touches of liqueurs, a heavy dose of bitters and the glass is smoked to boot. If that ain’t complex then I don’t know what is; the piece of all this that I’m proudest of is my ability to write a spec, execute it, and more times than not have a drink that’s more enjoyable than the simplified version would be. I admire the eso...

Smoke a rocks glass with an oak smoke board. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir to dilute, about 20 seconds. Strain into smoked glass over a large clear cube. Garnish with an orange twist.

Editor's Note

A maximalist Negroni riff that pulls out all the stops. A funky cachaça and mezcal split base meets pineapple-infused Campari, banana liqueur, and Cynar in a smoked glass. Not for the faint of heart.

This sounds like a masterclass in layering flavors! Do you happen to have the specific ratio you use for your pineapple-infused Campari so others can try to replicate this at home?
