I haven’t had a cocktail for a few days, been on an iced water kick, but today had:

1.5oz tequila claro

.75oz Chinola

.75oz Ancho Reyes

1oz lime

2oz not particularly fizzy tepache

Shaken. Yum. Sat on the porch and relaxed, then an early supper. Have a great weekend!

    Yes. Also brandy (Korbel) based instead of whiskey.

    Honestly. I wouldn’t put a Wisconsin Old Fashioned and Old Fashioned in the same category. I’m not surprised you were disappointed. Different liquor, different mixer, different balance. Only similarities are the bitters the fruit (although in WI the cherry steals the show).

    It’s definitely a nostalgic drink for me. I like it with sour or pressed (soda water instead of soda). It’s the perfect companion to a wood paneled supper club and a well done steak.

      This explains a lot, thanks! A crowded bar at a Wisconsin wedding was not the place to ask for more details about the drink.
