Squeaky Wheel | Cocktail Party

Squeaky Wheel

If a standard Negroni just isn’t hitting the spot anymore, if you need a funkier, smokier flavor to get you going, look no further than the Squeaky Wheel, a coffee-mezcal twist on the classic from Nicholas Bennett of Cedric’s at the Shed in New York City.

Mezcal and coffee liqueur bring a roasted, smoked flavor, enhanced by the spice of the bitters. Bennett calls for Angostura bitters, which are lovely – but we’ve also enjoyed it with spiced chocolate bitters. An unexpected splash of amaretto is the perfect bow on top, softening the edges just a touch.
