Mint Chocolate Oaxaca Old Fashioned
Make this one immediately 🍃🍫🥃
#ad I’m excited to partner with @donjuliotequila to put a twist on one of my favorite classic cocktails. During the holidays, mint chocolates were always one of those little things I looked forward to — that mix of cool mint and rich chocolate just hits different this time of year. This cocktail leans into those flavors, but with a grown-up twist.
@DonJulioTequila Reposado is made with 100% blue weber agave and aged longer than industry standards, so it brings warm vanilla, soft caramel, and a smooth oakiness that rounds out the mint and chocolate without overpowering them. And if you choose to mist mezcal on top, it adds a subtle smoky layer that makes the whole drink feel richer, deeper, and more complex.
It’s minty, chocolatey, spirit-forward, and surprisingly balanced.
