copper canyon

1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila (Cimarron)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Fidencio)
1/4 oz Crème de Cacao (Bols)
1/4 oz Allspice Dram (Hamilton's)
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, and stir to mix and chill. Garnish with a lemon twist.Two Saturdays ago, I delved into the Bartender's Choice app and landed upon the Copper Canyon that was different from Will Thompson's drink with the same name. This one was crafted by Hunter Orahood at Manhattan's Attaboy in 2019 and was an agave spin on the Base Camp; it also reminded me of the Sherpa as well. This Old Fashioned riff donated a lemon, vegetal, and smoke aroma. Next, a sip with a decent body to it flowed into smoky agave, chocolate, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
