The Oaxaca Old Fashioned - as if the old fashioned couldn't get any cooler

Use code ANDERS at https://originalgrain.com/anders to stack 10% off their Mother's Day sale! 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!
