“Love Bombing 💥💣💥
If you don’t know what love bombing is, congratulations, you are one of the lucky ones. Love Bombing is a manipulation technique some narcissist do to influence a person through excess attention and affection. As a person who has never gotten love bombed before, I had no idea what I got myself into. All I knew was, wow I was feeling A LOT. All the excessive compliments, the affections, the ridiculous early commitments and asked me to be his girlfriend 2nd week of knowing me.

I wanted to create something that represents what I was feeling, ALL TOO MUCH, a twist to his favorite drink - Negroni. Instead of gin, I used Mezcal for the smokiness, and infused Campari with cacao nibs for a more enhanced bitterness. For sweetener I used amaretto which adds a nice hint of almond and last, some chocolate bitters to wrap up all the flavors. Keeping the presentation simple with the focus around the flavor layering and the after taste, this is a lot but exactly what I was going for.

Recipe:
- Mezcal 1oz
- Campari infused with cacao nibs 1oz
- Amaretto 1/2oz
- Chocolate bitters 3 dashes
Express with an orange peel

Serve over clear ice low ball glass
