Perhaps a little too obsessed with researching and making classic/modern cocktails and tiki drinks.

•Pour bitters, tequila, and mezcal over a large rock of ice in a rocks glass. •Fill a bar spoon with agave syrup and use the spoon to stir the drink. •With a lit match, heat the exterior of an orange peel. •Squeeze the peel into the flame to ignite the oils over the top of the drink. •Garnish with said orange peel.

Editor's Note

A modern classic. Reposado tequila provides the backbone, while a mezcal float adds a smoky, complex finish. The flamed orange peel is essential for the aromatic experience.

I make these all the time! I like to garnish them the a candied orange peel that you just drop in. Sweetens the drink a bit more. I will often go 1 oz mezcal, 1 oz tequila to make the drink smokier. 2 dashes Burlesque Bitters instead of angostura bitters is also a nice change-up.
