Swap your usual whiskey for Jose Cuervo Tradicional Anejo to create a sophisticated Mexican Old Fashioned. The agave spirit brings a unique earthy sweetness that pairs beautifully with traditional cocktail bitters.
Combine two ounces of tequila with a teaspoon of agave nectar and two dashes of orange bitters in a mixing glass. Stir with plenty of ice until well-chilled, then strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
Garnish with a wide strip of orange peel, expressing the oils over the surface of the drink. This simple addition brightens the deep, woody notes of the tequila and makes for a perfect evening sipper.
