1 cocktail
10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 sugar cube or 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 dashes Angostura bitters
- Cocktail cherry for garnish
- Orange peel for garnish
- Smoking gun with wood chips applewood or hickory work well
- 1/2 teaspoon water
- 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
- 1 large ice cube preferably clear ice
Instructions
- Begin by placing the sugar cube in a lowball glass. Add the Angostura bitter dashes, the cocktail cherry and a twist of orange peel into the glass.
- Use your smoking gun loaded with wood chips to fill the glass with a rich, aromatic smoke. Cover to trap the smoke, and let it infuse for about 2 minutes. Lift the cover and allow the smoke to dissipate, then repeat the process once more.
- Remove the orange peel and cherry. Pour in the water and muddle the sugar cube until it's mostly dissolved.
- Pour in the bourbon. Give it a gentle swirl to combine and add a large ice cube to the glass.
- Take the orange peel and give it a good squeeze over the glass to release the oils, then rub it around the rim before dropping into the glass along with a cocktail cherry. You can fill the glass with smoke once more for a final touch.
