The Perfect Serve

Jalisco in Fashion is a sophisticated, Mexican-inspired riff on a classic Old Fashioned that beautifully balances the crisp brightness of tequila with the earthy depth of mezcal. It features a split-base structure, stirring 1 oz of The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco alongside 2/3 oz of smoky The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín. The spirits are sweetened with 1/2 oz of agave syrup, then accented with 3 dashes each of anise-toned Peychaud's bitters and rich cacao bitters. Stirred over ice and strained into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, it is elegantly garnished with a fresh orange twist and a delicate dusting of freshly grated nutmeg.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz / 30 ml The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco

  • ⅔ oz / 20 ml The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín

  • ½ oz / 15 ml Agave Syrup

  • 3 dashes Peychauds Bitters

  • 3 Dashes Cacao Bitters

Instructions:

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir well, then strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with an orange twist and a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg.
