Tequila old fashioned transforms the classic whiskey cocktail using premium Roca Patron Anejo for an sophisticated Mexican twist. This elevated drink showcases the complex flavors of aged tequila while maintaining the traditional old fashioned structure. The smooth, oak-aged agave spirit creates depth and richness that rivals any premium whiskey-based version.
