Mixing a Classic Tequila Old Fashioned

Gather Your Ingredients

To start, you'll need a high-quality tequila, preferably an Añejo for its deep, rich flavor. You'll also need agave nectar, Angostura bitters, and a slice of orange for garnish.

Prepare Your Glass

Take an Old Fashioned glass and fill it with ice. This will chill the glass while you prepare the cocktail.

Mix the Drink

In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of tequila, a half teaspoon of agave nectar, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir until well combined.

Serve the Cocktail

Empty the ice from your Old Fashioned glass and strain the cocktail into it. Garnish with a slice of orange and enjoy your Tequila Old Fashioned.
