Vago Old Fashioned

Vago Old Fashioned is a rich, tropical twist on the classic whiskey staple that highlights the smoky depth of Mezcal Vago Espadín. It combines 2 oz of the mezcal with 0.5 oz of sweet guava simple syrup and a dash of Angostura bitters, with an optional barspoon of herbaceous Amaro Braulio for added complexity. Stirred thoroughly with ice in a mixing glass until chilled, the drink is strained into a rocks glass over a large-format ice cube. It is finished with an aromatic expression of an orange or lemon peel, then garnished with the citrus twist.

• 2 oz Mezcal Vago Espadín

• 1/2 oz Guava simple syrup

• 1 dash of Angostura bitters

• 1 barspoon Amaro Braulio (optional)

Instructions:
