Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Honey Orange Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine equal parts honey and water over low heat, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. Add fresh orange juice, stir well, and let cool.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Glass

    Fill a smoke infuser or a small container with cherrywood chips. Light the chips until they smolder and use a glass dome or a large mixing glass to capture the smoke. Place the glass upside down over the smoke for about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the Woodford Reserve® Bourbon, honey orange simple syrup, and chocolate bitters. Stir well until chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve the Cocktail

    Strain the mixture into the smoked glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with an orange twist, expressing the oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.
