Where the Old Fashioned Came From

The Old Fashioned is a famous cocktail from the early 1800s. It’s usually made with whiskey, sugar, bitters, and a bit of citrus. People love it because it’s simple and tasty, and it has a long history.

Why Try a Kava Oaxaca Old Fashioned

The idea for the Kava Oaxaca Old Fashioned came from my love for kava and mezcal. Kava is from the Pacific Islands and helps you relax, while mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico has a smoky taste. Together, they make an awesome drink that’s perfect for chilling out.

What You Need to Make a Kava Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Here’s what you’ll need to make this cool drink:

• Kava concentrate or kava powder: Makes the drink relaxing.
• Mezcal: Gives it a smoky taste.
