Dos Hombres Mezcal Recipes

These Dos Hombres mezcal recipes are just what you need if you find the spirit a little too strong on its own. From Negroni’s to a fun Mezcal Sour, there’s something for everyone here.

Dos Hombres mezcal is the brain child of Breaking Bad faves Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston.

It’s become hugely popular since it launched in the summer of 2019, winning a bunch of awards, including “Berlin Meazcal of The Year.”

Dos Hombres Negroni

Negronis are typically quite simple with bitter notes and a sweet finish. Usually made with gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, it has a wonderful burnt orange hue.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this mezcal twist:

• 3 ounces of Dos Hombres Mezcal
• 2 Burnt Orange Peels
• 1/2 ounce of Simple Syrup
• 2 ounces of Campari
• 1 pinch of Cayenne Pepper
• 1-1/2 ounces of Sweet Vermouth

How to make a Dos Hombres Negroni:

1. Add the mezcal, simple syrup, Campari, cayenne, and sweet vermouth to a cocktail shaker with ice. 
2. Shake for 20 seconds and strain into two glasses with ice
3. Using a sharp knife, cut a chunk of orange peel, with a very small amount of white pith.
4. Strike a match, then carefully run the flame over the surface of the orange peel. Discard the match.
5. Strike a second match and hold it over the drink. Bring the orange peel over the flame and squeeze to express the oils. It may flame, which is normal.
6. Run the orange around the rim of the glasses, give it a twist, and add it to the drinks as garnish.
7. Serve and enjoy!
