30. Elote old fashioned

Ingredients

2 ounces Elote Old-Fashioned mix*
2 dashes orange bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash chocolate bitters

Method

• Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice until chilled.

• Strain into an old fashioned glass over a big cube.

• Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a candy corn (if you're into that sort of thing)

Elote Old Fashioned Mix (batched)

25 oz. Nixta Licor de Elote
20 oz. Abasolo whiskey
5 oz. espadín mezcal
200 g butter
40 g cacao nibs
5 g nutmeg

• Mix the Nixta, whiskey, and mezcal in a heat-safe container. Set aside.

• Melt the butter on low heat to ensure it doesn't bubble or burn, then add the cacao nibs and nutmeg. Stir to incorporate.

• Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then add to the liquor mixture.

• Place the container in the freezer until the butter hardens (overnight for stronger flavor).

• Once hard, remove the butter and strain the remaining liquids through a coffee filter or superfine sieve to catch any remaining solids.

• Repeat until liquid is free from debris.

• Store refrigerated until you're ready to use it
