Pineapple Mezcal Old Fashioned
Pineapple Mezcal Old Fashioned
Regardless the time of year, we like to keep a batch of Roasted Pineapple Mezcal on hand. It's the perfect addition to tiki cocktails like the Piña Ximénez and as a spirit to sip slowly on its own. This time around, we're using it as a base for our unique take on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
Just like the classic Old Fashioned, we start by muddling sugar in bitters. Here is where things take a turn. We substitute bourbon for our Roasted Pineapple Mezcal and stir in ice for 15 seconds. But we don't stop there. Next up, flame a stick of cinnamon until smoldering and garnish.
