Review:
An agave-based old-fashioned with a wonderful hit of smokiness from the mezcal (depending on your choice of mezcal).
Like many cocktails, Philip Ward's original recipe (45ml reposado tequila, 15ml mezcal (Del Maguey Chichicapa or San Luis del Rio), 7.5ml Agave syrup, and 1 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters) has evolved, with chocolate bitters, or more recently, cocoa bitters now favoured by many in place of aromatic bitters (as per the recipe above).
