Oaxacan Smash
0
A shaken smash on blanco tequila with a little mezcal, muddled with lime and sage and sweetened with agave. Fresh, green and tart, with smoke in the background. By Frederic Yarm at Loyal Nine, Cambridge, 2017.
Frederic Yarm came up with the Oaxacan Smash in 2017 while working at Loyal Nine, inspired by sage growing in the garden. The mix of agave and sage recalled Jacques Bezuidenhout's Sagerac, so the drink uses both tequila and mezcal in the proportions of Phil Ward's Oaxacan Old Fashioned. Its format follows Dale DeGroff's Whiskey Smash.
