Steps To Making The Perfect Smoked Old Fashioned

Start by selecting your favorite whiskey to be added into a cocktail shaker. While some prefer the smoky notes of Scotch or bourbon, others choose to use rye or other whiskeys depending on preference. Next, add simple syrup and Angostura bitters before adding ice to the mix. Shake for about 20 seconds and slowly strain your mixture into a whiskey glass before topping it off with smoked water or smoke-infused ice cubes for that extra touch of smoky flavor.

When all the ingredients are in place, stir gently to fuse all flavors. As the ice melts down into the drink, it’s distinct flavor accents from each ingredient such as sweetness from the simple syrup and bitterness from Angostura bitters. To finish it off, garnish it with an orange peel for an added layer of aromatics and give yourself a pat on the back as you sip away on your perfect smoked old fashioned cocktail.
