While many reach for whiskey, Maestro Dobel Anejo makes for a spectacular Old Fashioned. The natural vanilla and caramel notes from the barrel aging process pair beautifully with the bitterness of aromatic bitters and a touch of sugar.
Stir two ounces of tequila with a teaspoon of agave nectar and two dashes of bitters over large ice cubes. Express a fresh orange peel over the glass to release the essential oils, which brighten the deep, earthy tones of the spirit.
This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a slower, more deliberate drink. It showcases how versatile an aged tequila can be when treated with the same respect as a fine bourbon or rye.
