Instructions

The Aztec Twilight is a bold reinterpretation of the classic Old Fashioned, incorporating traditional Mexican flavors to add complexity and warmth. This cocktail combines the smokiness of mezcal with the sweetness of agave nectar and a hint of chocolate bitters, embodying the essence of ancient Aztec indulgence. It's served over a large ice sphere to ensure a slow dilution, allowing the drink to evolve as you savor it. A cascade of orange zest oils and a pinch of ground chili bring a delightful finish to this innovative concoction, making it a perfect sipper for those who appreciate the depth of heritage in their glass. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal (preferably aged for a smokier profile) - 1/4 oz Agave nectar - 2 dashes Chocolate bitters - 1 dash Angostura bitters - 1 large ice sphere - Orange twist, for garnish - A pinch of ground ancho or chipotle chili, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the mezcal, agave nectar, chocolate bitters, and Angostura bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled, about 30 seconds. 3. Place the large ice sphere in a chilled Old Fashioned glass. 4. Strain the chilled mixture over the ice sphere in the glass. 5. Take a wide strip of orange zest, squeeze it over the glass to express the oils, and then run the zest around the rim to coat it lightly. 6. Garnish with the orange twist placed in the glass. 7. Gently sprinkle a pinch of ground chili over the surface of the drink for a subtle heat that contrasts the coolness of the cocktail. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the mesmerizing blend of ancient flavor with modern mixology. The Aztec Twilight is served in a traditional Old Fashioned glass, also known as a rocks glass, to highlight its rich and timeless character.
