The Oaxacan Old Fashioned cocktail, a staple at New York City’s dearly departed Mayahuel, is an agave-based riff on the classic whiskey Old Fashioned that mixes tequila and mezcal with Angostura bitters and agave syrup. Go the extra mile and ignite your garnish for an added burst of flavor, plus a pretty cool light show.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounce tequila
  • 1/2 ounce Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio mezcal
  • 1 barspoon agave nectar
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: flamed orange peel

Steps

  1. Add all the ingredients into an Old Fashioned glass with 1 large ice cube, and stir until chilled.

  2. Garnish with a flamed orange peel.
