Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Light the wood chips and allow them to create smoke. Invert a glass over the smoke to infuse the flavor. Let it sit for a minute.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass, add the Rittenhouse rye, Amaro Montenegro, simple syrup, Aztec chocolate bitters, and Angostura bitters. Fill with ice and stir until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the inverted glass from the smoke and strain the cocktail mixture into the smoked glass.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Flame the orange peel over the cocktail to release the oils, then rim the glass with the peel and drop it into the drink as garnish.
