Tobacco Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Tobacco Oaxaca Old Fashioned is a deeply complex, spirit-forward nightcap that offers a savory and highly aromatic twist on a modern classic agave cocktail. Stirred to a velvety chill with rich añejo tequila, earthy single-village mezcal, and a touch of sweet agave nectar, it is uniquely elevated by several dashes of Turkish tobacco bitters and served over fresh ice with an expressed orange twist.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml Patrón Añejo tequila

• 15 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 7.5 ml Agave syrup (agave nectar)

• 3 dashes of Fee Brothers Turkish Tobacco Bitters

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill an old-fashioned glass.

• Prepare a garnish of orange zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass.

• Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.
