Add Smoke
Using a smoke gun or a covered container, infuse the cocktail with the oak wood smoke for about 10 seconds. If you don’t have a smoke gun, simply cover the cocktail with a lid or a plate and let it sit for a couple of minutes to absorb the smoky flavor.

Garnish
Express the oils from a slice of orange peel over the drink and place it as a garnish on top.
