If you love a traditional Old Fashioned, you’re going to love this cocktail. Instead of using whiskey or bourbon, this cocktail uses a combination of tequila and mezcal. The smokiness of the mezcal makes it taste very similar to your standard Old Fashioned. This cocktail would be perfect for any time of year. You could even make it for Cinco de Mayo if you’re looking for something other than a margarita! Cheers!
