The Mezcal Old Fashioned is a modern twist on the classic Old Fashioned, with mezcal as the main spirit. The exact origin story of this drink may vary, as modern cocktail creations are often developed independently by different bartenders in different locations.
The Old Fashioned itself has a rich history, as one of the oldest known cocktails, with roots dating back to the 19th century. The mezcal version brings a smoky and earthy note to the traditional Old Fashioned by replacing bourbon or rye with mezcal.
This variation reflects the creative diversity and experimentation in the world of cocktails, while respecting the core principles of the classic Old Fashioned.
