Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling a rocks glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Old Forester 100 Bourbon, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 2 dashes of black walnut bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well for about 20-30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Drink

    Remove the ice water from the chilled rocks glass and strain the mixed drink into it. Use a smoking gun or carefully torch the cedar chips to create smoke. Capture the smoke in the glass by placing a small lid or another glass over the top to infuse the drink with a smoky flavor.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink and then drop it into the glass as a garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Smoked Old Fashioned!
