Mezcal & Grapefruit Old Fashioned
Ad 21+
A reminder to myself that the Old Fashioned works great as a template! You can play around with your favourite spirits, syrups and bitters. I absolutely love the mezcal and grapefruit combo, grapefruit syrup making it easy, quick and tasty to mix myself one of these when I’m in the mood for one.
The Old Fashioned template is also great for experimenting with lots of combinations, what with there being so many spirits and syrup flavours out there to explore
If I was putting this on a menu I would likely split the base with something like tequila, the Oaxaca Old Fashioned being a great example of this. But since I’m making this one for myself I really want to be hit in the face with the mezcal
60ml/2oz Spirit of choice, I went mezcal
10ml/0.33 oz Syrup of choice, I went grapefruit (of course this depends on how sweet you want yours)
Bitters of choice
