Smoky Old Fashioned

Enjoy the warmth of Empirical Ayuuk's Pasilla Mixe chili and the scents of the Central de Abestos market in Oaxaca in your new favorite Old Fashioned.

Jump to Recipe

The red fruit and delicate savory flavors of Ayuuk bring extra depth and elegant smoke to your classic Old Fashioned.

The smoky Pasilla Mixe chili is the sole botanical and the source of all the complexity in Ayuuk. After distillation the best fractions are rested in a sherry Oloroso cask, allowing the flavors to infuse and mature with each other, giving a smooth, distinct, and savory finish.

We source the Pasilla Mixe chili directly from the farmers of the native Mixe community of the Sierra Norte mountains and pay for this incredible flavor.
