ABOUT
This modern classic was created in 2007 by Phil Ward at Death & Co. At the time, not many cocktails used agave spirits (beyond shots and margaritas); this soon changed across the world. Ward doesn’t recall who he made his first Oaxaca OF for, but he did remember the drink as a “right-off-the-cuff humdinger.” Cheers y’all!
