Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Smoke Infusion

    Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help create a good smoke when ignited.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a shaker, combine the cane sugar and fresh orange juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved completely.

  3. 3

    Add the Rum

    Pour in the Zaya rum into the shaker with the dissolved sugar and orange juice mixture. Fill the shaker with ice.

Mixing and Serving

  1. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Fill a rocks glass with ice. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.

  3. 6

    Infuse with Smoke

    Using a smoking gun, ignite the soaked wood chips and direct the smoke into the glass for a few seconds. This will give the cocktail a lovely smoky aroma.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the cocktail with a cherry and an orange slice on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
