ABOUT
I recently saw Barlow Gilmore (@theweekendmixologist) post this Oaxaca Old Fashioned riff and I had to restir it. Here, Gilmore adds notes of chocolate with crème de cacao as the sweetener. Añejo tequila has been aged longer than the usual reposado used in a Oaxaca OF. Remember to express your oils! Cheers y’all!
