Step-by-Step Instructions
First, gather your hardware and ingredients. You’ll need:
- 1. A cocktail shaker: Because shaking it like a Polaroid picture is essential.
- 2. A fine mesh strainer: To keep the drama out of your drink.
- 3. Wood chips: Make sure they’re safe for smoking, not something you found on your last camping trip.
- 4. Bourbon: Either your favorite bottle or the one that’s been sitting neglected since last year’s party.
- 5. Demerara sugar: For that sweet touch; regular sugar is just too mainstream.
- 6. Angostura bitters: The secret sass of the cocktail world.
- 7. An orange twist: For that zesty flair-think of it as your cocktail’s personal stylist.
Now, let’s get smoky! Start by soaking those wood chips for about 30 minutes in water. While they’re marinating, grab your favorite bourbon glass (the one that makes you feel like a million bucks). Place a sugar cube in the bottom, then douse it with a couple of dashes of bitters. Muddle this mixture until the sugar has mostly disappeared; we’re not making a sugar-sandwich here, folks-this is an Old Fashioned!

Next, fill your glass with a single large ice cube-think of it as a classy ice sculpture in the midst of a cocktail! Pour in 2 ounces of bourbon and give it a gentle stir, like you’re imparting some wisdom. Now comes the fun part! Light up your soaked wood chips, letting them smolder a bit. Use a smoke dome or a wide bowl to capture the smoke, and invert it over your glass for 30 seconds to a minute. Finally, finish with that elegant orange twist, and you’re ready to impress. Just remember, sipping slowly is key; we don’t want you getting smoke in your eyes from laughing too hard!
Final Thoughts
As we bid farewell to the smoky haze of our cocktail lab, remember that crafting the perfect Smoked Old Fashioned isn’t just about the drink-it’s about the experience! So go ahead, grab that ball of wood chips, your favorite whiskey, and channel your inner mad scientist. Just be sure to keep a fire extinguisher nearby (safety first, folks!).
Now, whether your drink turns out to be a masterpiece or a smoke signal for help, at least you can chuckle over the fact that you’re one step closer to cocktail wizardry. And hey, who wouldn’t want to impress their guests by serving up a drink that’s as cool as an old-timey Western saloon, but without the tumbleweeds and bad poker hands?
So, the next time you find yourself pondering the age-old question of “What should I sip tonight?” just remember: Smoke ’em if you got ’em, but don’t forget to shake, stir, and laugh along the way! Cheers to your smoky adventures! 🍹💨
