Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the bitters and piloncillo

    In a mixing glass, combine piloncillo syrup with Angostura bitters and orange bitters. Stir briefly to ensure the syrup is well distributed and the bitters are incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add mezcal and chill

    Pour the mezcal into the mixing glass with the bitters mixture. Add 4 ice cubes and stir vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the drink and begin dilution.

  3. 3

    Strain into a serving glass

    Fill a rocks glass with fresh ice and strain the mezcal mixture over the ice to keep the drink well-chilled.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange twist over the surface of the drink, rim the glass if desired, and drop the twist into the glass as garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately. This Oaxacan Old Fashioned showcases the smoky/meaty notes of mezcal balanced by the piloncillo sweetness and aromatic bitters.
