This recipe is from New York City's Death & Co. It is a fabulous riff on the Old Fashioned cocktail. A great cocktail for a fiesta or anyday!
The Oaxacan Old Fashioned
Makes 1 cocktail
Ingredients
1.5 oz reposado tequila
0.5 oz mezcal
1 tsp agave nectar
2 dashes Angostura bitters
flamed orange twist (garnish) - flaming is optional!
Method
Combine all ingredients, except the orange twist in an Old Fashioned glass filled with one large ice cube. Stir until chilled.
To flame orange twist, shave orange skin (no pith). Light a match and hold skin-side of orange twist above match to warm for a few seconds. Move the lit match above the drink and quickly squeeze the peel in the direction of the match. The oil from the peel will quickly ignite, spraying smoked orange oil over the drink's surface. Rub orange twist around rim of glass and place into glass as garnish.
