HallA commented on 8/17/2023:

I modified with ingredients I had. Dropped orange juice and used 1/4 cointreau, used passion fruit syrup instead of a passion fruit (1/2 oz), made it a fat oz of lime juice to balance the passion fruit syrup. Maybe the slightest bit sweeter than intended but still delicious.

  • This is an excellent Negroni-like cocktail. Mistakenly made w/ dry verm. at first (not good), used the bianco and it is really nice. On another occasion I used .5 dry vermouth and .25 benedictine to replace the Blanc. Very nice! — ★★★★★

Gato Negro Instantáneo

1 oz Mezcal (Joven, coffee infused - see notes)
1⁄2 oz Amaro Lucano
1⁄2 oz Chocolate liqueur (Trader Vic's)
Instructions

Combine ingredients with ice, strain, and serve up in a cocktail glass.

Notes

Get a coffee filter with a teaspoon of medium or dark roast coffee. Pour the mezcal through the filter and wait for the liquid to filter through. This should take a minute or two.

History

Based on this by Mike Melazzo, but added the instant/filter aspect. No need to wait a few hours.
