This Old Fashioned is my go-to for the holiday season. The rich and complex flavor of the tequila pairs so well with bitters and orange. It’s made to be savored and is a classic Old Fashioned with a twist. I made this cocktail with my mom over the summer for National Tequila Day. It has become one of our favorites ever since.
