Prepare Your Smoker Kit
- Ensure you have all the components of your cocktail smoker: the smoker device, wood chips, a torch, and a glass to cover the drink.
-
Choose Your Wood Chips
- Select a wood chip flavor that complements your cocktail, such as cherry, oak, or apple.
-
Prepare Your Cocktail
- Mix your cocktail in a glass or shaker and pour it into your serving glass. Leave a little room at the top of the glass for the smoke.
-
Set Up the Smoker
- Place the smoker device on top of the glass.
-
Add Wood Chips
- Place a small amount of wood chips into the smoking chamber.
-
Light the Chips
- Use a torch to ignite the wood chips. Apply the flame until the chips start to smolder and release smoke.
-
Capture the Smoke
- Let the smoke infuse the drink directly for about 20–30 seconds, or longer for a stronger smoky flavor.
-
Remove the Smoker
- Carefully lift the smoker, allowing the smoke to linger in the glass.
-
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the cocktail immediately, enjoying the smoky aroma and enhanced flavor.
Pro Tips
- Experiment with different wood chip flavors to find your favorite pairing.
- Use the smoker in a well-ventilated area to avoid lingering smoke indoors.
- For a visual effect, serve the cocktail while the smoke is still swirling in the glass.
Enjoy your perfectly smoked cocktail!
