Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Similar to an Old Fashioned, but this cocktail combines mezcal and bourbon together. The mezcal adds a layer of earthiness and smoke, while bourbon helps smooth things out.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar
  • 3 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/2 ounce mezcal
  • 1 1/2 ounce bourbon
  • 1 Orange twist 1-inch-wide by 2 inches in length
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add agave nectar, bitters, and water into a rocks glass, and stir until combined.
  2. Fill the glass with large ice cubes, add the mezcal and bourbon, and gently stir to combine the flavors.
  3. Twist orange peel over the cocktail. Rub the peel on the rim of the glass for extra flavor. Then drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
  4. Garnish with a charred (and still smoking) cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • For a Christmas-y version, tangerine can be used instead of orange.
  • The cocktail can be sweetened with orange or tangerine simple syrup  instead of agave for a fruitier version.
  • If you're not a fan of mezcal, feel free to use tequila instead.
