This is a smoky, spicy version of the Tequila Old Fashioned. You can use an iSi Whipper for instant gratification, or give yourself a couple of days to let the tequila infuse with the chipotle. Either way, this is an impressive, complex cocktail.

• 1 tsp. agave syrup
• 2 dashes Mole Bitters

1. Chill an old fashioned glass with ice and water
2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with ice
3. Strain over fresh ice in chilled glass
4. Garnish with a lime twist
