Oaxaca Old Fashioned
Like an Old Fashioned, but with mezcal.
In 2007 Phil Ward, a bartender at Death & Co in New York, swapped the whiskey in an Old Fashioned for reposado tequila and a splash of mezcal. Back then mezcal was barely known in American bars. Bartenders everywhere copied his drink, and mezcal has been on cocktail menus ever since.
