I’m super excited to share a twist on a classic that David and I absolutely adored – the Tequila Old Fashioned. Trust me, this isn’t your grandpa’s Old Fashioned; it’s a modern spin that’s about to become your new favorite.

The Magic Blend: Ingredients & Steps

Ingredients:

• 3 oz Anejo Tequila (the star of the show!)
• 0.5 oz Agave Syrup (for that sweet melody)
• 2 dashes Orange Bitters (a citrusy zing)
• 2 dashes Angostura Bitters (the classic touch)

Steps:

1. Start Simple: Grab your rocks glass. No ice yet! Pour in the bitters and agave syrup. This is where the magic begins.
2. Tequila Time: Add that gorgeous Anejo Tequila. Its rich, deep flavors are perfect for this.
3. Chill Out: Drop in an ice ball or cube. Why? It melts slower, keeping your drink perfectly chilled without watering it down.
4. Stir It Up: Give it a good stir for about 15 seconds. This isn’t just mixing; it’s an art form, blending all those flavors together beautifully.

Why This Rocks

A Twist on Tradition: The Old Fashioned is a timeless classic, but who says we can’t shake things up? Swapping bourbon for tequila brings a whole new character to the table – bold, complex, and utterly sippable.

Sweet Meets Heat: Anejo Tequila, aged and mellow, pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of agave syrup. It’s like they were made for each other. And those bitters? They’re the secret handshake, bringing everything together.

Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether it’s a chill night in or a fancy little gathering, this Tequila Old Fashioned fits right in. It’s sophisticated without being pretentious, and trust me, it’s a conversation starter.

David and Stephanie’s Verdict

We both gave this concoction a try, and oh boy, it was love at first sip! David, with his penchant for unique flavors and craft cocktails, was all in on the boldness of the Anejo Tequila. And me? I’m all about that sweet twist, and the agave syrup hit just the right note.
