Of course, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned is now a staple in many bars, this is a variation I split the base spirit with extra añejo tequila and añejo mezcal for those deep, rich flavors. I then created a syrup by grinding green cardamom, red chili flakes, vanilla bean, cacao nibs, cinnamon stick, all spice and clove in a mortar and pestle. I combined these ingredients with a Demerara syrup at low heat for half an hour. Strained it through cheesecloth and made a very rich syrup that accentuates the chocolate and cinnamon while having a little heat from the red chili. The grapefruit oils have a bit of a numbing sensation and adds to the experience.
