Dad’s Bittersweet Truth
Nothing beats some advice from Dad; to ease some of that truth, sip on a favorite like the Negroni, but with an extra kick using tequila instead of gin. The richer, yet surprisingly smooth, profile provides a unique way to enjoy tequila on Dad’s special day.

Stir all ingredients and serve up with an orange twist.

2 parts Maker’s 46®
½ part sweet vermouth
1-2 dashes Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry for garnish
