Smoky, rich, and surprisingly refined, the Cacao Old Fashioned is what happens when campfire flavors put on a tailored jacket. The heart of this cocktail is Cacao para la Copa, our cacao-and-spice barside blend inspired by the deep flavors of traditional cacao, warming spices, and the long history of cacao in Mexican culinary traditions.

Featuring rich cacao, warm cinnamon, and subtle spice, Cacao para la Copa adds depth and complexity that transforms a classic spirit-forward cocktail into something truly memorable. Paired with mezcal or reposado tequila, the blend highlights notes of smoke, oak, chocolate, citrus, and spice, creating a drink that feels both rustic and sophisticated.

A touch of bitters and a bright twist of orange peel balance the richness, while the spirit carries the flavors through a long, warming finish. The result is a cocktail perfect for cool evenings, fireside conversations, or any occasion that calls for sipping slowly and appreciating the details.

Drunken Duck Tip: If using mezcal, you’ll get a bolder campfire character. If using reposado tequila, expect a smoother, oak-kissed version with a little more sweetness. Either way, you’re in for a very good evening.
