Tequila Old Fashioned

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Prepare to elevate your cocktail game with a modern twist on a beloved classic—the Tequila Old Fashioned. This sophisticated libation combines the smooth and complex flavors of aged tequila with the subtle sweetness of muddled sugar and aromatic bitters. The Tequila Old Fashioned is a testament to the versatility of tequila as a base spirit and its ability to shine in traditional cocktail recipes.

The Old Fashioned cocktail traces its roots back to the early 19th century when it emerged as one of the first classic cocktails. Originally made with whiskey, this timeless libation has since evolved to incorporate various spirits, including tequila. The Old Fashioned is known for its simplicity, relying on a harmonious balance of flavors to create a truly elegant and timeless drink.

Essential Ingredients for a Tequila Twist:

Tequila: Opt for a high-quality, aged tequila that possesses rich and complex flavors. Reposado or añejo tequilas are excellent choices as their oak barrel aging imparts notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice that complement the cocktail perfectly.

Sweetness: The Tequila Old Fashioned requires a touch of sweetness to balance the boldness of the tequila. Use a demerara sugar cube or simple syrup to add a subtle sweetness and enhance the flavors of the drink.

Bitters: Aromatic bitters, such as Angostura or orange bitters, add depth and complexity to the cocktail. They provide a pleasant bitterness and enhance the overall flavor profile.

Orange Peel: A strip of fresh orange peel serves as both a garnish and an aromatic element. It adds a vibrant citrus note that complements the tequila and bitters, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

The Tequila Old Fashioned is a delightful and contemporary twist on a classic cocktail that highlights the versatility and complexity of aged tequila. By combining high-quality tequila with sugar, bitters, and a touch of citrus, you can create a well-balanced and satisfying libation. The Tequila Old Fashioned offers a refreshing alternative for tequila enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados looking to explore new dimensions of flavor and sophistication. So, raise your glass and embark on a journey of taste with the Tequila Old Fashioned. Enjoy!
