Mezcal Margarita

Oaxaca Old-Fashioned
🥃 Serve in: Rocks Glass
Reposado tequila and mezcal split the base here, sweetened with agave syrup and finished with chocolate bitters -- a smoky, modern classic. Invented at New York's Death & Co in the 2000s, it helped kick off the wider trend of agave-spirit riffs on the Old Fashioned. The mezcal's char and chocolate bitters give it real depth and complexity. Stirred and served over a large rock in a rocks glass.
