If you’re a fan of classic cocktails, then you must try a Smoked Old Fashioned made with the Smoktail cocktail smoker. This cocktail is the perfect combination of sweet and smoky, and is sure to impress your guests at your next dinner party.
To make a Smoked Old Fashioned, you’ll need a few simple ingredients: bourbon or rye whiskey, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, a large ice cube, an orange peel for garnish, and of course, a Smoktail cocktail smoker with wood chips (applewood, oakwood, or pecan work well).
Start by filling a silicone ice cube mold with filtered water and freezing it for at least 4 hours, or until it’s completely frozen. This will create a large ice cube that will melt slower and keep your cocktail from getting watered down too quickly.
Next, in a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1/4 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir well and strain the mixture over the large ice cube in a rocks glass.
Now it’s time to smoke your cocktail. Fill the smoking chamber of your Smoktail cocktail smoker with wood chips and light them. Place the smoking tube over the drink and smoke for 20-30 seconds, until you’ve achieved your desired level of smokiness. The longer you smoke the cocktail, the stronger the smoky flavor will be.
Finally, garnish your Smoked Old Fashioned with an orange peel for a pop of citrus flavor and enjoy your delicious cocktail!
In conclusion, the Smoked Old Fashioned is a great way to elevate your cocktail game and impress your guests. With a few simple ingredients and the help of the Smoktail cocktail smoker, you can create a perfectly balanced cocktail with a delicious smoky twist. Give it a try and see for yourself!
