Southern Sunshine
 
A New Twist on the Old Fashioned

By Natalie Bovis-Nelsen (AKA: TheLiquidMuse.com)

This south-of-the-border twist on a classic “Old Fashioned” makes you feel like you’re drinking in golden rays on a dreary winter day. The mango-pomegranate combination balances tart and sweet, with an extra kick of antioxidants. (Being healthier was a New Year’s resolution, right?) Pair this drink with an order of Oyamel’s famous grasshopper tacos—and you’re in for an exotic experience.

Oyamel “Old Fashion”
2 ounces Seimbra Azul Reposado
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
1 ounce agave nectar
1 tablespoon pomegranate concentrate
1 tablespoon fresh cubed mango
Splash lemon-lime soda

Shake ingredients, with ice. Strain into an ice-filled martini glass.
