Smoked Old Fashioned Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by chilling an old fashioned glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside.

2. 2

   Mix the Drink

   In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

3. 3

   Prepare for Smoking

   Dump the ice water out of the chilled glass. Strain the mixed drink into the glass.

4. 4

   Smoke the Drink

   Using a smoking gun, fill the glass with smoke from the wood chips. Cover the glass with a lid or a small plate to trap the smoke inside for about 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   After smoking, release the lid and quickly twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils. Add the orange peel and cherry as garnish and enjoy your Smoked Old Fashioned!
