M & M is a strong modern cocktail made with equal parts Amaro Montenegro and mezcal. Its name refers to the initials of its two components, while bartenders also know the drink as a Manager's Meeting. Marco Montefiori created the recipe in 2015, and Robert Krueger helped popularize it at Employees Only in New York. Mezcal smoke meets the citrus and herbal bitterness of the amaro.
