This Southwestern riff on the Old Fashioned trades bourbon's warmth for the wild, herbaceous bite of sotol, a spirit that carries the rugged terroir of the Chihuahuan Desert. Corn liqueur adds a subtle sweetness and creamy body, while grenadine and bitters provide depth without masking the base spirit's earthy complexity. A finish of chili heat lingers on the lips, grounding the drink firmly in its desert origins.
