Oaxacan Smash
🥃0
Shake Tequila Blanco, Mezcal, Agave Syrup, Lime (Half Of A Medium-Sized Lime) with ice. Strain into a rocks glass.
In 2017, while working at Loyal Nine, I got the idea for an Oaxacan Smash from sage growing in my garden. The pairing of agave and sage reminded me of Jacques Bezuidenhout’s Sagerac. Rather than choosing between tequila or mezcal, I used both, mirroring Phil Ward's Oaxacan Old Fashioned proportions. For the recipe format, I went with a Smash style similar to Dale DeGroff’s Whiskey Smash.
