The New Fashioned
New Fashioned is an agave-driven, modern riff on the classic whiskey staple that splits the base between rich reposado and smoky mezcal. It carefully builds 1.5 oz of reposado tequila and 0.5 oz of Mezcal Rosaluna with 1 teaspoon of sweet agave nectar and two dashes of aromatic bitters. Stirred directly in a glass to incorporate the ingredients before adding ice to chill and perfectly dilute, it results in a spirit-forward, complex sipper. The cocktail is elegantly finished with a dramatic, flamed orange peel to express its toasted citrus oils over the top.
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Reposado tequila
0.5 oz Mezcal Rosaluna
1 tsp Agave nectar
2 dashes Bitters
Garnish: Flamed orange peel
Instructions:
This is an old favorite with a new twist. Add bitters, agave nectar, tequila, and Mezcal into a glass and stir to incorporate. Then add ice, stir to chill, and garnish with a flamed orange peel—dramatic, but so worth it.
