Smoked Old Fashioned Recipe
Ingredients:
2 oz bourbon (choose your favorite brand)
1 sugar cube (or ½ tsp simple syrup)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel (for garnish)
1 Luxardo cherry (optional)
Wood chips for smoking (oak or cherry wood recommended)
Smoker or smoking gun
Instructions:
Prepare the Glass:Place the sugar cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add the bitters and a splash of water, then muddle until the sugar dissolves.
Add Bourbon:Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour in the bourbon. Stir gently to combine.
Smoke the Cocktail:Use a smoker or smoking gun to light the wood chips. Capture the smoke in the glass by inverting another glass or a dome over the top. Let it infuse for about 30 seconds, then remove the dome.
Garnish:Add the orange peel and Luxardo cherry for a touch of elegance. Serve immediately and savor the smoky, rich flavor.
