1
Prepare the Maple Smoke
Soak the maple wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes prior to smoking.
2
Prepare the Glass
Chill an Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, 1 tsp of simple syrup, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 2 dashes of black walnut bitters.
4
Stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

5
Create Smoke
Using a smoking gun or a covered grill, introduce the soaked maple wood chips to create smoke. Aim the smoke into the chilled Old Fashioned glass.
6
Infuse the Glass
Swirl the smoke in the glass for about 10 seconds, then remove the smoke source and empty the ice water from the glass.

7
Strain and Serve
Strain the stirred cocktail into the smoked Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube.

Garnish
Express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the drink, then add the peel as a garnish.
