The Mezcal Old Fashioned is a delicious and smoky twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail. The result is a smoky, sweet, and complex cocktail that is perfect for sipping.
The agave nectar adds a touch of sweetness that balances out the smokiness of the mezcal, while the bitters add a depth of flavor. The orange peel garnish adds a citrusy note that complements the other flavors in the cocktail.
