Oaxaca is magical! My family and I visited a few years back, fell in love and have gone back every year, with some years going more than once. There are countless of guides, but I'd be more than happy to send over our recommendations of neighborhoods, markets, mezcalerías, food, etc.
This drink became a huge after-show cocktail among the Muppets. Fozzy Bear would come to Rowlf the Dog’s bar with Kermit and Miss Piggy and order three, “Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Oaxaca!”
HECK YES! Mezcal has become a new personal favorite spirit of mine, and it’s almost a given that I’ll be ordering one of these if a bar has it on their menu. Excited to give yours a try!
used a Tres Agaves tequila and an Ilegal mezcal (am out of Vida!) - a wonderful drink! thinking of trying it with an anejo tequila next.... thx Anders!
We havd tried it ....instead of grapefruit we have used orange 🍊 .....what a refreshing drink. Thank you. Cant wait for your winter season / holiday drinks. Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂
Saludos desde México! I prefer to drink Mezcal. I recommed you the Mezcal Espadin, Tobala or Pechuga from the Montelobos brand. And please do more Mezcal coctails, they taste better with fruits like tamarind, pineapple, orange or hibiscus (jamaica)
I really like Banhez Espadin. Great Mezcal. We'll use that to make a spicy shaken "margarita" with a little muddled jalapeño. Going to try the above drink as well, this weekend.
As a philly cocktail bartender of more than ten years: your videos are my phucking favorite! thank you so much for the content, youse. youre awesome and wonderful! vielendank
I made this today in preparation for tomorrow, so I could see how I liked it. I decided to change my bitters to Black Walnut bitters and was very happy with my decision! Lovely cocktail!
I’ve made this drink in the past just as you explained. And yep! It called for the orange peel heated and spritzed over the top. That being said, I just love your videos! Thanks for a great content!
The Oaxaca old fashioned is a long-time favorite of mine. When I make them, I do opt for chocolate bitters (easiest one for me to find is Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters, it's basically like a mole bitters), but for the garnish, I dust one side of an orange slice with a little bit of cinnamon, which I think plays really well with the mezcal.
I made this recipe with Hornitos Black Barrel tequila and from the smell alone I knew I was on to something good. Definitely worth a try if you have a bottle.
Are you reading my mind?! Considering buying my first bottle of mezcal & also needing to replenish some reposado, and boom 💥 here you are with the perfect drink for both. Can't wait to try it!
I first heard of and enjoyed this drink in Philly like 10(?) years ago. Best drink I ever had. The following week I was in a comedy club in NYC and asked if they could make a mezcal old fashioned. Waitress said she would ask. She comes back a few mins later with the drink and says, "Oh my god, everyone in the back says you're a genius." I took the credit.
The Milk District has a drink called The Ghost of Oaxaca. It is Mezcal with coconut milk, orgeat, and lime. I asked the bartender how they get it and they said they muddle jalapeños in it. Best drink I have ever had.
@@mikeparler 1:1 tequila and mezcal, 1:2 coconut milk, 1:4 lime. You can garnish with jalapeño, or, as I prefer, you can muddle the jalapeño into the liquor. The menu from back when they had it on the menu said Ilegal mezcal, coconut milk, orgeat and lime. Maybe it was 1:1 mezcal and orgeat. I am going to buy the ingredients and start trying different ways with it.
Just re-upped on mezcal specifically with this drink in mind, so this video couldn't have come at a better time! 😄 I will say that just like a regular old fashioned, this template is very riff-able. I am a fan of mole bitters (Bittermans makes a good one) in this drink, and I've also swapped the agave nectar for cinnamon syrup, which I find plays nice with the mezcal. If you like spice, hellfire bitters are good in this one, although a little goes a long way. Definitely recommend experimenting! Most of all, this drink checks all the boxes for me for a "complex" cocktail, especially when you use a quality tequila and mezcal. The combo of a good reposado and the aged notes it brings along with the slight smoke of the mezcal and the spice components from the bitters together really do it for me. It is sometimes tricky to get the balance right on this one, but when you do, it really sings.
I've made your previous rendition of this drink with the flamed orange round, oh, a gazillion times, maybe. But, I've also made it with grapefruit and, I agree, it is equally good. I have added one additional component and that is a rich agave syrup made with hibiscus for a little more Mexico in the drink. It adds a bit more red color and mellow hibiscus depth. Thanks Anders and Oz.
Meanwhile me, an amateur, after seeing mezcal mentioned here and there, "you know, i should buy a bottle", and straight after tasting it "yooo, lemme make an old fashioned out of this" so iiiii.... WENT TO THE BAR, aka my fridge. And that's how i started drinking mezcal old fashioneds once in a blue moon, as it's such a treat i usually like to savour it. But the agave syrup is a nice idea, will give it a shot next time, i've been sticking with my demerara. Also, i can fully understand why people might need to be eased into it, mezcal kicks and tequila they know.. but 15ml of mezcal ? Feels exactly like just a taste. :))
It's a great drink. I tend to go 50/50 with ango and mole bitters, and I've also been known to sneak an extra half ounce of overproof blanco in to amp things up (G4 108 works really well) I'd never considered the grapefruit, it seems like an obvious pairing when you think about it though.
I made a traditional Old Fashioned last night but with Espanita Anejo (hands down, favorite tequila) instead of whiskey and even though I didn't have the suggested Mole Bitters, it was pretty fantastic. This looks good too. Wouldn't have thought of grapefruit but I dig it.
I’m gonna do it full mezcal, I’m Mexican but can’t drink tequila due to bad experiences, but mezc works just fine. Also division bell & drunk and famous are very good cocktails I do from watching you. Thanks
If you thin your Agave down (80% Agave, 20% water) to make it less vicious, use .25 oz. I will sometimes use a dash of Ango and Peychaud’s as well. Most people who order this cocktail have grown into the Mexcal flavor, and are cool with full pour, but this is a great way to tame it for the uninitiated. I have a “Qaxacan Express Martini” (Mexcal Espresso Martini ) that might benefit from a tone down with Tequila? It’s based on Mole flavors and the really smoky Mexcal had taken over the recipe. I had switched from Vida to Illegal for the same reason, and to let the other components come through. Tempering it with Tequila might be a better solution?
Easy peasy Anders, and such a beautiful color👌👌👌my kind of drink🤗🤗🤗a superb way to start a weekend!👏👏 Have a great weekend and as always “CHEERS!”❤️❤️🥃🥃
Oaxaca Old Fashioneds are SO tasty. I love making them with Jalapeño infused tequila to give it a little extra capsaicin kick that works super well with the mezcal smoke.
Hey, in Mexico we use grapefruit soda for one of our go-to party drinks, the “Paloma” (tequila + Squirt grapefruit soda). So you’re definitely on the right track with that garnish!
Oh my giddy aunt, where have you been... ? I love your vids! I'm a 60 yr old gym rat gramma who is finally gonna be a bartender. I've always wanted to be one but allowed myself to be talked out of it. You so totally rock!
I completely forgot there was a song called "The Bumble Bee Tuna Song" and that intro brought it right back to the surface and now it's stuck in my head 😭
I had a drink a couple of years ago called the “charro negro”. But, instead of tequila they used a jalapeño infused mezcal (I think) because it was ultra savory and spicy. I’ve been chasing that taste for a while, but would love a video on that drink. So delicious even the “normal” way.
Dude! As soon as you as you intro’d this, I’m like; “I have all the ingredients!” You certainly had me when you mentioned the taste affinity of Mezcal as something akin to scotch and Jamaican rum (to which I have a couple hundo bottles of rum) This might be a new favorite, real smooth, the agave really Smooths it out. The mouth feel coats your tongue. Yummy
This. Is. Such! A wonderful drink. I've said it before, Ιmma say it agheen: If I were forced to drink one cocktail for the rest of my life, it would have to be the Old Fashioned. And its permutations. And the Oaxaca OF would ge pretty high up on the list of options. Interestingly enough (well, at least for this bald chap typing) I have never tried it with Ango bitters. I always use chocolate or coffee, or both. But next time I will try Ango. After all, it IS the one type of bitters that should always be on the shelf. And grapefruit, it'll be wonderful. But I would love to hear your suggestions about good, affordable reposados. I had a bottle of El Jimador, which was... very average. I happened to have a bottle of mezcal straight from Mexico (courtesy of a friend) and it almost wiped out El Jimador. In fact I had to up the dose of the tequila, to at least make it "heard". I don't think I'll be using El Jimador again, so any suggestions would be more than welcome (hopefully I can find them in Europe).
I love Old Fashioneds, I'll have to give this one a try. Hey, Anders, if I need a little help workshopping a cocktail, is there a place I can write you...if I don't use social media? Can't wait for your next video.
Not all mezcal is heavily smoky... I have made something like this with only mezcal. One of my favorite mezcals is Mi Mama Me Dijo and it's only slightly smoky. I use that mezcal, agave nectar, and a blood orange or grapefruit bitters, garnished with an expressed orange peel. That's my recipe, which I share only to point out that the mixture of tequila and Mezxcal can be adjusted based on the final flavor desired and the smokiness of your mezcal of choice.
Now that's one very sessionable old fashioned variant, I now want to split my whiskey old fashioned this way with an aged blended scotch and one of the big smoky Islay malts like Ardbeg Uigeadail, thanks Anders.
I love Mezcal!!!!! Bet you use it for a bunch of different cocktails. While I was in Columbia, went to a Mexican restaurant that had a Smokey Negroni……. Basically a Negroni with Mezcal instead of Gin, if I remember correctly……. It was really good. However, I’ve noticed that Mezcal is kind of like Yankees baseball. People that I know seem to either like it strongly or dislike it strongly. My Father-in-Law thought it smelled like jet fuel and my wife’s not a fan of it either. I really enjoy mezcal myself. Keep those recipes coming!!!!!!!

Coincidentally, I made several of these just last night for some friends. My recipe is exactly the same as yours, but I add one more secret ingredient- 1/4 oz Giffard banana liqueur. (Oh well, I guess it’s not a secret anymore) 😊

No matter what crap is going on, we can raise our glass and give these 2 beautiful people a huge CHEERS!!
yes i agree I have been following them for ages even did a video in honour of them not sure they have seen it yet
Well said. Love these kids
This drink became a huge after-show cocktail among the Muppets. Fozzy Bear would come to Rowlf the Dog’s bar with Kermit and Miss Piggy and order three, “Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Oaxaca!”
friggin' nailed it
Haaaaahaaaa😂😂😂. Totally thanks for the laugh. CHEERS!!
Incredible
Oof.m😬
I saw what you did there... well done
I got this recipe from you a while back when I asked you how you make it in the comments. Thank you Anders you never disappoint
Appreciate that. Cheers
Wait...Anders takes requests?
Went to Oaxaca a few years ago. SO super fun. Visiting mezcalarias is amazing.
Sounds like my kind of trip!
Would love to visit
I started with the Oaxaca old-fashioned, and now graduated to the Mezcal old-fashioned. Now that’s growth.
TO THE BAR!➡️🥃
I always used orange bitters for this one.
I love the story and detail you provide behind all the recipes! Excited to try this!
Yours is the best channel I have seen on cocktails. Very thorough, clear and easy to follow
Ive swapped in Mezcal and either anejo or reposado for PENICILLIN and its GREAT ‼️🙌🏾
HECK YES! Mezcal has become a new personal favorite spirit of mine, and it’s almost a given that I’ll be ordering one of these if a bar has it on their menu. Excited to give yours a try!
Local bar made these before they closed. Absolutely loved them
perfect cocktail for May 5! thx!

This drink always has such a beautiful color!
Such a great cocktail - a nice variation on my favourite standard order. 🥃
I have all these ingredients. 😊 Time to mix up this drink 🥃
Hmm that's delicious 😋 Gonna make another after this one with a cherry 🍒

That sounds nice! Ive never tried Mescal & this seems a great way to get a taste 😊
Sweet sweet B roll. The glass is cool!
Another excellent drink to add to the rotation. Cheers!
I love your bar mat, but very glad you brought back the battle slide
Anders, gotta say i had my doubts, but DAMN dude that is one awesome drink!!! Thanks...
Thank you Anders and Ozz. 😊

You should try and do an episode where Az makes your 3 favorite cocktails and then YOU come in and taste them at the end!
Her worst nightmare.. should be a good time!
Oaxaca Old Fashioneds are SO tasty. I love making them with Jalapeño infused tequila to give it a little extra capsaicin kick that works super well with the mezcal smoke.
Just made this last night! Bitterman’s mole bitters (or similar like Aztec chocolate) take this to the next level
For those of us allergic to citrus (orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit), what would you suggest as a substitute?
I added a couple of extra barspoons of agave, but this is a cocktail that really grows on you.
I think I may have to try this cocktail 🎉
One of my favorite drinks out there
Hey, in Mexico we use grapefruit soda for one of our go-to party drinks, the “Paloma” (tequila + Squirt grapefruit soda). So you’re definitely on the right track with that garnish!

This has been my go to drink forna while now.
I'm definitely gonna make that one.
I have been waiting for this one. Thank you
Love this drink. Try it with aztec chocolate bitters!
I completely forgot there was a song called "The Bumble Bee Tuna Song" and that intro brought it right back to the surface and now it's stuck in my head 😭
Thanks for sharing your grapefruit peel riff rationale on the traditional spec. Anders, you always zig when everybody else zags.
Gotta keep you on your toes

Smooths it out. The mouth feel coats your tongue.
Yummy
What an absolutely wonderful cocktail. 1 Oaxaca old fashioned as taught, next no tequila just mezcal, now mezcal neat. That didn’t take long at all 😂
One of my favorites, although I use Hellfire Shrub bitters to add a little kick to the smoke.
And all of the good merch is out of stock! Love the rocks glasses!
Just confirmed the rocks glasses are back in stock! Cheers
This. Is. Such! A wonderful drink.

Love this. How about a paloma with 4 or 5 dashes of tobasco chipotle. Nice twang and the last 3 sips are awesome

Always love that sweet sweet b-roll!
Do you have a video on your process making those big chunky clear ices?
The glassware looks great, cocktail looks better. Next paycheck may have to treat myself to some merch...
The Oaxaca Old Fashioned is my favorite Old Fashioned. so yummy.
Loved the ‘Spaghetti Western’ style soundtrack, Cheers Amigos
This drink has been on my list for a while now, I used Milagro Reposado Tequila and it taste a little minty to me.
I love these and much prefer a 1/1 split or just mescal. A local Mexican restaurant makes terrific ones.
Not all mezcal is heavily smoky... I have made something like this with only mezcal. One of my favorite mezcals is Mi Mama Me Dijo and it's only slightly smoky. I use that mezcal, agave nectar, and a blood orange or grapefruit bitters, garnished with an expressed orange peel. That's my recipe, which I share only to point out that the mixture of tequila and Mezxcal can be adjusted based on the final flavor desired and the smokiness of your mezcal of choice.
Now that's one very sessionable old fashioned variant, I now want to split my whiskey old fashioned this way with an aged blended scotch and one of the big smoky Islay malts like Ardbeg Uigeadail, thanks Anders.
I love Mezcal!!!!! Bet you use it for a bunch of different cocktails. While I was in Columbia, went to a Mexican restaurant that had a Smokey Negroni……. Basically a Negroni with Mezcal instead of Gin, if I remember correctly……. It was really good. However, I’ve noticed that Mezcal is kind of like Yankees baseball. People that I know seem to either like it strongly or dislike it strongly.
My Father-in-Law thought it smelled like jet fuel and my wife’s not a fan of it either.
I really enjoy mezcal myself. Keep those recipes coming!!!!!!!
I actually discovered it at a restaurant here in Atlanta that put it in a cocktail called “Pineapple Express”
MMmmmm that is a damn good drink! Great video as always!
i have an original grain watch.. form 2 years ago. Very nice looking.

Have you ever heard of Dr. Sours Bitters? It's Bitters on the base of Mezcal. They have a lot in their productline which work amazing in this drink!
One of My favourites.
Instead of a cherry, how about a cube of dried guava to fit with the Oaxaca theme?
Cheers Phil and Ebanos Crossing!
Coincidentally, I made several of these just last night for some friends. My recipe is exactly the same as yours, but I add one more secret ingredient- 1/4 oz Giffard banana liqueur. (Oh well, I guess it’s not a secret anymore) 😊
Cheers. I'll give it a shot
I'm going to try that, bet it would play well
@@AndersErickson Hey Anders, I should’ve also mentioned that I was wearing my Bitter Bear dad cap while I was slinging drinks last night! Haha
1/4 oz of nixta corn liqueur is also worth a try !
