What is M&M?
The M&M Shot is a minimalist bartender favorite that blends smoky mezcal with the rich, bittersweet complexity of Amaro Montenegro. It’s bold without being aggressive, herbal without being medicinal, and smooth enough to surprise people who think shots have to burn. This is the kind of drink you order when you want to look like you know what you’re doing.
Unlike sugary party shots, the M&M Shot leans into balance and depth. The mezcal’s earthy smoke pairs beautifully with Montenegro’s orange peel, spice, and gentle bitterness, creating a refined one-ounce experience. If you enjoy spirit-forward drinks like a Negroni or a Mezcal Old Fashioned, this shot will feel strangely familiar. For another amaro-forward favorite, check out the Dazed and Confused cocktail.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
