Oaxaca Old Fashioned

0

Smoky mezcal and aged tequila share the glass, softened by a little agave syrup and sharpened by Angostura bitters. Spirit-forward and slow-sipping, with a gentle sweetness and a hint of orange oils from the peel.

The Oaxaca Old Fashioned has a bit of a backstory. At Death & Co, they use Mole bitters, but according to The New York Times, Angostura was originally specified because Bittermens wasn’t readily available back then.
