Ingredients
- 60 ml Mezcal
- 10 ml Agave syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 dash Mole bitters
- Garnish Orange peel
Preparation
- Stir all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with orange peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
Origin Story
The Mezcal Old Fashioned is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic Old Fashioned, emerging in the early 21st century as mezcal gained popularity outside Mexico. This variation highlights the spirit's smoky characteristics while paying homage to the traditional cocktail's roots.
