Ron Cooper, of Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal, respects the Oaxacan tradition of sipping the smoky spirit, but he also firmly believes in mezcal’s vast potential for use in cocktails—and his innovative spin on drink culture is just part of the reason he's a 2015 nominee for our Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional award this year. The mezcal maestro shared his recipe for a twist on the classic Negroni with us that was created specifically for their beloved VIDA line and has become one of the favorites of the entire Del Maguey company.
