Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mezcal Old Fashioned Cocktail.
Step 1
To craft a delightful cocktail, start by taking an old-fashioned glass and adding a splash of simple syrup along with a few dashes of bitters.
Step 2
Next, fill the glass generously with ice cubes, creating a frosty base for your drink.
Step 3
Now, grab a fresh orange and give the peel a gentle squeeze over the glass to release those aromatic oils—this little step adds a burst of citrusy goodness.
Step 4
Don’t forget to drop the peel right into the glass for extra flavor! Pour in a smooth blend of mezcal and añejo tequila, letting the rich spirits mingle.
Step 5
Give the mixture a good stir for about 20 seconds; this will chill your drink to perfection and allow the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Step 6
If you’re feeling a bit fancy, top it off with a Luxardo cherry for a sweet finishing touch.
Step 7
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your expertly crafted cocktail!.
