ABOUT
An identity crisis never tasted so good. This cocktail was created by Jordan Hughes (@highproofpreacher) as part of his “New Week, New Old Fashioned” series, where he takes the old fashioned template and gets creative with it. This one, he admits, is tough to call an old fashioned, but it sure is delicious. Mezcal adds smoke, Chartreuse brings herbs, and orgeat rounds it all out with some nutty smoothness. This one is totally worth a try! Cheers y’all!
