A Rosita cocktail is made with tequila, and has a perfect blend of bitter and sweet flavors. It's a twist on a Negroni recipe and it's easy for home bartenders to make!

Print Recipe

Equipment

Ingredients

1.5 ounces reposado tequila
1 ounce Campari
½ ounce sweet vermouth
½ ounce dry vermouth
dash Angostura bitters
lemon twist for garnish

Instructions

Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to cut a wide piece of lemon peel. Be sure to get just the yellow part, we don't want the white pith because that is bitter.
Add the tequila, Campari, sweet and dry vermouth, and bitters to a cocktail shaker or tall pint glass filled with ice. Stir gently to combine and chill.
Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice, add the lemon twist, and serve!

Notes

Apparently, the original recipe for a Rosita cocktail did not include the Angostura bitters, so if you don't have those, go ahead and make one anyway!
If you like a smoky flavor, use Mezcal instead of tequila.
An earlier version of the recipe called for it to be served over crushed ice, which would be very refreshing in the summertime.
I like a Rosita on the rocks, but it's also a cocktail that can be served up.
