Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces Reposado tequila
  • 1 ounce mezcal
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup
  • 2 dashes angostura bitter or mole bitters
  • 1 orange peel

Instructions

  • Combine tequila, mezcal, agave, and bitters in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir until thoroughly chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with one large ice cube or three standard ice cubes.
  • Flame orange peel with a lit match by running it along the orange side and edges. Drop orange peel in glass and serve.

Notes

If the smokiness of mezcal tends to be a bit strong for you, start with ½ ounce and add more as desired.
