Smoked Old Fashion Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Smoked Cedar

   Soak the smoked cedar wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. This will help to create a flavorful smoke when heated.

2. 2

   Create the Smoke

   After soaking, drain the chips and place them in a smoking box or a small piece of aluminum foil. Heat them over medium heat on a stovetop or grill until they start to smoke.

3. 3

   Mix the Cocktail

   In a mixing glass, combine the Basil Hayden Bourbon, Angostura bitters, orange bitters, and simple syrup. Add ice cubes and stir well until the mixture is chilled.

4. 4

   Smoke the Glass

   Using a smoking gun or your smoking box, fill the glass with smoke and let it sit for a minute to infuse the smoke flavor.

5. 5

   Strain the Cocktail

   Remove the smoke from the glass and strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the smoked glass.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish the drink with a slice of orange peel and a maraschino cherry. Optionally, express the orange peel over the drink to release its oils.
