History
The Agavoni is a creative twist on the classic Negroni, replacing gin with tequila to highlight the bold, earthy flavours of agave. This variation was developed by Bastian Heuser, a German bartender and drinks writer, who wanted to breathe new life into the Negroni by using tequila's bright and vibrant profile. The Agavoni retains the Negroni's signature balance of bitter, sweet, and herbal notes, thanks to the combination of Campari, sweet vermouth, and tequila. A dash of orange bitters is added to accentuate the citrusy elements.
