The Oaxaca Old Fashioned, aka Mezcal Old Fashioned, is a mixed drink that features tequila, mezcal, agave, and chocolate bitters. It is the brainchild of bartender Phillip Ward, who invented it in 2007 at the bar Death & Co.

* If you find this too smoky, use more tequila and less mezcal, or all tequila and hit it with 4-5 pumps from a Mezcal atomizer.

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
