Today we're making the Oaxaca Old Fashioned! This drink, created by Phil Ward in 2007, helped introduce mezcal to the cocktail world. Mezcal’s big flavor can easily overpower a drink, but here it’s tamed with soft tequila. The result is an approachable cocktail with just the right amount of smoke. Of course, feel free to adjust the ratios to fit your perfect level of smokiness. Cheers!

Oaxaca is magical! My family and I visited a few years back, fell in love and have gone back every year, with some years going more than once. There are countless of guides, but I'd be more than happy to send over our recommendations of neighborhoods, markets, mezcalerías, food, etc.

@robertkeeler6211 9 дней назад

Dude! As soon as you as you intro’d this, I’m like; “I have all the ingredients!” You certainly had me when you mentioned the taste affinity of Mezcal as something akin to scotch and Jamaican rum (to which I have a couple hundo bottles of rum) This might be a new favorite, real smooth, the agave really Smooths it out. The mouth feel coats your tongue. Yummy

Hey, in Mexico we use grapefruit soda for one of our go-to party drinks, the “Paloma” (tequila + Squirt grapefruit soda). So you’re definitely on the right track with that garnish!

@kellenholt6655 14 дней назад

Just re-upped on mezcal specifically with this drink in mind, so this video couldn't have come at a better time! 😄 I will say that just like a regular old fashioned, this template is very riff-able. I am a fan of mole bitters (Bittermans makes a good one) in this drink, and I've also swapped the agave nectar for cinnamon syrup, which I find plays nice with the mezcal. If you like spice, hellfire bitters are good in this one, although a little goes a long way. Definitely recommend experimenting! Most of all, this drink checks all the boxes for me for a "complex" cocktail, especially when you use a quality tequila and mezcal. The combo of a good reposado and the aged notes it brings along with the slight smoke of the mezcal and the spice components from the bitters together really do it for me. It is sometimes tricky to get the balance right on this one, but when you do, it really sings.

@AndersErickson 14 дней назад

Love the cinnamon syrup move. Cheers

@stevebikes995 13 дней назад

Lesson learned, I do not like mezcal. I bought a bottle, made two of these for myself and my wife, and neither of us finished them. I’ll try and find someone to give the mezcal to. It had a super peatie taste.

@Burritosarebetterthantacos 11 дней назад

Having worked for Franklin Mortgage and investment guys…I drank many of these👍. The Restraining Order is one of my fav tequila old fashioned riffs ever.

@arturorivera657 14 дней назад

Saludos desde México! I prefer to drink Mezcal. I recommed you the Mezcal Espadin, Tobala or Pechuga from the Montelobos brand. And please do more Mezcal coctails, they taste better with fruits like tamarind, pineapple, orange or hibiscus (jamaica)

@scorpiorysing 14 дней назад

I agree, I have the Pechuga, brought it back from Mexico, it's pretty good!

@mikev.2945 14 дней назад

I really like Banhez Espadin. Great Mezcal. We'll use that to make a spicy shaken "margarita" with a little muddled jalapeño. Going to try the above drink as well, this weekend.

@Meatloaf125 12 дней назад

The Oaxaca old fashioned is a long-time favorite of mine. When I make them, I do opt for chocolate bitters (easiest one for me to find is Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters, it's basically like a mole bitters), but for the garnish, I dust one side of an orange slice with a little bit of cinnamon, which I think plays really well with the mezcal.

@StrixyN 12 дней назад

@MartinHensel-kp3dm 14 дней назад

I've made your previous rendition of this drink with the flamed orange round, oh, a gazillion times, maybe. But, I've also made it with grapefruit and, I agree, it is equally good. I have added one additional component and that is a rich agave syrup made with hibiscus for a little more Mexico in the drink. It adds a bit more red color and mellow hibiscus depth. Thanks Anders and Oz.

@Cosmitzian 14 дней назад

Meanwhile me, an amateur, after seeing mezcal mentioned here and there, "you know, i should buy a bottle", and straight after tasting it "yooo, lemme make an old fashioned out of this" so iiiii.... WENT TO THE BAR, aka my fridge. And that's how i started drinking mezcal old fashioneds once in a blue moon, as it's such a treat i usually like to savour it. But the agave syrup is a nice idea, will give it a shot next time, i've been sticking with my demerara. Also, i can fully understand why people might need to be eased into it, mezcal kicks and tequila they know.. but 15ml of mezcal ? Feels exactly like just a taste. :))

@DaveJ188 14 дней назад

I've been adding the same amount to my margaritas as well when I want a bit on of a smokey kick in it.

@LukeF 13 дней назад

Oaxaca Old Fashioneds are SO tasty. I love making them with Jalapeño infused tequila to give it a little extra capsaicin kick that works super well with the mezcal smoke.

@samcalderwood5049 14 дней назад

I've always made this with grapefruit bitters.

@MrMoney331 14 дней назад

MMmmmm that is a damn good drink! Great video as always!

@mxpplrsk 14 дней назад

I made a traditional Old Fashioned last night but with Espanita Anejo (hands down, favorite tequila) instead of whiskey and even though I didn't have the suggested Mole Bitters, it was pretty fantastic. This looks good too. Wouldn't have thought of grapefruit but I dig it.

@djr488 13 дней назад

@LyK0sa 14 дней назад

It's a great drink. I tend to go 50/50 with ango and mole bitters, and I've also been known to sneak an extra half ounce of overproof blanco in to amp things up (G4 108 works really well) I'd never considered the grapefruit, it seems like an obvious pairing when you think about it though.

Went to a tiki bar in Napa, Ca. called Wilfred's Lounge today. It had a spin on the espresso martini called the espresso tikitini. I like the espresso martini but this was such a level up from that I really need to figure out how to make it. Ingredients were Vodka, Koloa coffee infused rum, copalli cacao rum, macadamia nut liqueur, griffo coffee liqueur, house coffee. If for some bizarre reason you make your way out to Napa I'd give that bar a try. Every drink I had was really good.

@fisch723 11 дней назад

I first heard of and enjoyed this drink in Philly like 10(?) years ago. Best drink I ever had. The following week I was in a comedy club in NYC and asked if they could make a mezcal old fashioned. Waitress said she would ask. She comes back a few mins later with the drink and says, "Oh my god, everyone in the back says you're a genius." I took the credit.

@meganwomble1838 13 дней назад

I had a drink a couple of years ago called the “charro negro”. But, instead of tequila they used a jalapeño infused mezcal (I think) because it was ultra savory and spicy. I’ve been chasing that taste for a while, but would love a video on that drink. So delicious even the “normal” way.
