Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling an old fashioned glass with ice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine the demerara sugar, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters. Add a splash of water to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Add the Rye

    Pour in the rye whiskey and fill the mixing glass with ice. Stir well until chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the ice from the chilled glass and strain the mixed cocktail into the glass.

  5. 5

    Smoke the Cocktail

    Light a cinnamon stick and hold it over the cocktail glass to infuse smoke into the drink. Cover the glass with a coaster to trap the smoke for a few seconds.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and an orange peel. Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink before placing it in the glass.
