What's the Story Behind the Old Fashioned?

The Old Fashioned is a cocktail steeped in history, originating in the early 19th century. Traditionally made with whiskey, sugar, water, and bitters, it's known for its simplicity and depth of flavor. Over the years, the Old Fashioned has evolved, with bartenders experimenting with different spirits to give this classic a contemporary edge. Our Mezcalum Old Fashioned honors this legacy of innovation by introducing the complex and smoky notes of mezcal.

Why Mezcalum in Your Old Fashioned?

At Mezcalum, our mezcal is not just any spirit. It's a labor of love and tradition, crafted from the rare and wild varieties of Espadin and Cuishe agave grown in the sun-drenched valleys of Oaxaca. Our Maestro Mezcalero, Carlos Méndez Blas, employs ancestral methods to create a mezcal that's rich in heritage and flavor. By incorporating Mezcalum into your Old Fashioned, you're not just mixing a drink—you're weaving a tapestry of Mexican culture and artisanal craftsmanship.

This cocktail is not just a choice—it's a statement of authenticity and quality.
