Ingredients

60ml Bourbon Whiskey
Wood Chips for Smoking
2 dashes Aromatic Bitters
10ml Sugar Syrup
Luxardo Cherry for Garnish

Instructions

Place a glass cloche over a rocks glass and fill with wood chip smoke using a smoking gun.
In a mixing glass, combine bourbon, sugar syrup, and bitters with ice. Stir for 20 seconds.
Strain the cocktail into the smoke-filled glass and quickly cover again.
Present to the guest and lift the dome at the table for a dramatic smoke reveal.
Garnish with a luxardo cherry and an orange twist.

Pro Tips

Use applewood or cherrywood chips for a sweeter, more aromatic smoke.
Keep the dome sealed until serving — the smoke dissipates quickly once opened.
A cold glass holds smoke better than a warm one.
