Whether you’re looking for the perfect camping cocktail or just enjoying a quiet night at home, it just doesn’t get any more cool than a Smoked Old Fashioned!
Prepare your garnish by threading a toothpick with an orange peel and cherries, then set it aside.
Add the sugar cube and bitters to a rocks glass or camp mug. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to muddle the sugar and bitters together until they form a paste-like consistency. Add the bourbon and stir.
Place the cherry wood chips on a non-flammable surface such as the back of a cast-iron skillet. Light them on fire with your torch or lighter, until you have a good, strong flame.
Place the mason jar upside down over the lit wood chips. The lack of oxygen will extinguish the flame, but the smoke will continue to collect in the jar.
Once the mason jar is filled with smoke, it’s time to infuse your cocktail with smoke!
