OAXACA OLD FASHIONED
Though you will see the Oaxaca Old Fashioned showcased in cocktail bars across the country, bar keep Phil Ward at Death & Co. is credited for the original recipe. This is the drink that opened the American mixology world’s eyes to the potential of using tequila and mezcal in cocktails. Its execution is the same of a tradition Old Fashioned but showcases both tequila and mezcal. This cocktail highlights the beautiful complexity of tequila with a subtle smoky finish from mezcal.
