Try this mezcal old fashioned. It's a twist on an old fashioned cocktail, but it uses mezcal instead of whiskey. The mezcal gives it a smoky flavor, while the añejo tequila balances out the smoke while giving the drink a golden hue with hints of oak, reminiscent of whiskey.
Ingredients
- 0.25 ounces simple syrup
- 2 dashes bitters , such as Angostura
- 1 cup ice cubes , or more as needed
- 1 piece orange peel , 3 inch
- 1 ounce mezcal
- 1 ounce añejo , aged
- 1 Luxardo cherry , optional

Combine simple syrup and bitters in an old fashioned glass. Fill the glass with ice. Squeeze orange peel over the glass to expel oils, then place peel in the glass. Add mezcal and tequila; stir until the drink is ice cold and alcohol has mellowed, about 20 seconds. Garnish with cherry to serve.
