Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Though simple to make, this fantastic cocktail (created by Philip Ward) really delivers with it’s complex and interesting taste. Far from a Margarita – with the absence of citrus – this drink is truly a showcase for the tequila and mezcal. We enjoy using a mezcal that is produced in the mountainous regions of Oaxaca using tobala pina. Smaller and sweeter than the more common and larger blue agave pina, these mezcals bring a delicate, sweet, and smoky note to this wonderful cocktail.
