Teremana Old Fashioned
About
The Teremana Old Fashioned takes the timeless whiskey classic and reimagines it through an agave lens. Using Teremana Reposado or Añejo, this version adds natural warmth, vanilla, and subtle oak while keeping the original’s clean simplicity. A touch of agave nectar replaces sugar for a smoother sweet note, and a couple dashes of bitters tie everything together with gentle spice and depth.
It’s elegant, unfussy, and built for slow sipping - the kind of cocktail that feels familiar yet fresh, perfect for late-night conversations, cozy evenings, or anytime you want something classic with a little extra character.
Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. As every Old Fashioned should be. It keeps the texture silky and the spirit front and center.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 2 oz Teremana Reposado or Añejo
- 1 bar spoon Agave Nectar

Garnish: Orange peel
Pro Tip
Express the orange peel over the glass before placing it in - the oils add a citrus aroma that lifts the entire drink. If using Añejo, go a touch lighter on the agave to let the spirit’s natural sweetness shine.

FAQs
Reposado or Añejo - which is better?
Reposado keeps it brighter; Añejo adds richer caramel and oak. Both work beautifully.
Can I make it sweeter?
Add a second bar spoon of agave, but go slow - a little goes a long way.
Can I use flavored bitters?
Orange bitters and chocolate bitters both pair incredibly well with agave spirits.
Does it need dilution?
Stirring with ice handles dilution naturally - don’t add water directly.
Can I batch this?
Yes - combine tequila, agave, and bitters, then store chilled. Pour over ice to serve.
