What glass is an Oaxaca Old Fashioned served in?

A rocks glass. The wide mouth puts the aroma of a citrus twist right under your nose, and the heavy base survives muddling and stirring in the glass.

Is an Oaxaca Old Fashioned shaken or stirred?

Stirred. It contains only spirits and modifiers, so stirring chills and dilutes it while keeping it clear and silky.

About 25% ABV after dilution, or roughly 1.4 US standard drinks (20 g of alcohol) per serve.

Roughly 149 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol.

Yes. Tequila Blanco is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.

Reposado tequila, a touch of mezcal, agave and bitters. An Old Fashioned with smoke.

Add the tequila reposado, mezcal, agave syrup and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill with ice and stir for 25 to 30 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
Garnish with an orange twist.

Phil Ward created it at Death & Co in New York in 2007. It helped convince bartenders that agave spirits belong in stirred drinks.

Created 2007 in New York, USA.
