Jake Powell’s Oaxaca Old-Fashioned

Jake Powell | Denver

Jake Powell’s take on the modern classic simply adds mole bitters to the equation, a move that the drink’s creator, Phil Ward, found to be a successful one. “It’s a good direction to go in,” noted Ward at a blind tasting of Oaxaca Old-Fashioneds, in which Powell’s recipe was among the top vote-getters.
