Smoked Old Fashioned
COCKTAIL RECIPE
The Old Fashioned is the go-to for someone who wants a no-fuss , drink unconcerned with chasing perfection , simply because it is perfection . That kind of confidence is the reason why the Old Fashioned has been celebrated as the drink of choice when you want to add a touch of sophistication to your day . A mix of bourbon , sugar , a few dashes of bitters , water , and an orange peel for garnish – that ’ s a statement right there .
Ingredients
• 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
• ½ oz demerara simple syrup (* demerara sugar is a raw natural sugar extract from sugar cane and great for brown spirit cocktails *)
• 2 to 3 dashes angostura bitters
• Orange peel and brandied cherry for garnish
Instructions
1 . Combine bourbon , simple syrup and bitters in a mixing glass and add ice .
2 . Stir well to combine ( do not shake ) and strain into an oldfashioned glass with a large cube of ice .
3 . Smoke the old-fashioned cocktail in a Craft-house Fortessa smoking chamber or any other smoking device of your choice .
4 . Remove from smoker and express an orange peel over the cocktail . Drop in the orange peel along with the brandied cherry .
5 . Sip slowly and enjoy .
Notes & Tips
• Rye will give you a hotter mouth feel whereas bourbon will have a sweeter end note like caramel and banana .
• Simple syrup is simply dissolved equal parts sugar and water by volume . Use a teaspoon of sugar or 1 sugar cube with 1 teaspoon of water and dissolve if you don ’ t have demerara .
• Smoke no more than 5-10 seconds using the wood flavor chips of your choice ( such as cherry wood ).
