last train to oaxaca

1 1/2 oz Pueblo Viejo Añejo Tequila (Cimarron Reposado)
1/2 oz Los Amantes Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
3/4 oz Lillet Blanc (Cocchi Americano)
1 tsp Donn's Spices #2 (1/2 tsp Hamilton's Allspice Dram + 1/2 tsp Vanilla Syrup)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Saturdays ago, I found a reference to Death & Co.'s Last Train to Oaxaca, so I found it in the bar's first cocktail book. The drink attributed to Brian Miller in 2009 made me think of the Monkee's 1966 hit song "Last Train to Clarksville", and I was curious to see if allspice and vanilla work as well with mezcal and tequila as allspice and chocolate did in the Copper Canyon. In the glass, the Last Train to Oaxaca showcased an orange, vegetal, smoke, and allspice aroma. Next, orchard fruit notes on the sip cruised into smoke, vegetal, vanilla, allspice, and grapefruit flavors on the swallow.
