Oaxaca Old Fashioned

The Oaxaca Old Fashioned was a gigantic crowd pleaser from the moment I started serving it. It remains true to a very important maxim I believe we started saying at Pegu Club: “There is nothing as complex as simplicity”. The Oaxaca Old Fashioned is an embodiment of that statement.

I didn’t set out to create a modern classic; I always set out to create great drinks. We put it on the menu shortly after its creation and then it was mentioned in the press a few times, and from there it just spread like wild fire. At this point, it has probably been on menus on three or four of the world’s continents!
