Argentine Old Fashioned

The Argentine Old Fashioned is a full-bodied, meaty drink that’s almost a meal in itself. The rich cocktail, made with Asada-infused Azuñia Añejo tequila, vermouth, Amaro Montenegro, and Angostura Bitters, conjures up the most romantic Spanish interludes. Whether you enjoy it paired with a decadent meal or stir one up to sip over a deep conversation, we suggest you bring along a special someone — Cha, cha, cha.
