The Oaxaca Old Fashioned

The Oaxaca Old Fashioned is a brilliant modern classic. It’s the perfect introduction to split-base agave cocktails, where the reposado tequila's richness is beautifully complemented by a whisper of mezcal smoke. That expressed grapefruit peel is absolutely essential—it’s what makes the entire drink shine.
