1pt Veracruz Old Fashioned Recipe
1pt Veracruz Old Fashioned
The native Totonacs were the first to cultivate vanilla from an orchid found in the Veracruz region of Mexico during the time of the Mayans and Aztecs. This cocktail is a celebration of that flavor heritage, with notes of gourmet vanilla and trade spices infusing this simple presentation of tequila, agave, and bitters.
