History of the Smoked Old Fashioned:
The old fashioned was created in the 1800s. The simple ingredients and the strong flavors of the cocktail have withstood the test of time, and this cocktail continues to reign as one of the most popular beverages ordered in America.
The core ingredients include rye or bourbon, sugar, and bitters. Many consider this cocktail to be strong in alcohol flavor, but sipping the beverage is the secret to enjoying the harmonious flavors from the ingredients.
Now, smoked cocktails are popping up more frequently on the bar scene. Whether it is with food or in drink, Americans love the smokey taste. The first smoked cocktail ever made was in 2007, in a bar in New York City. Barman Eben Freeman mixed up smoked Coca-Cola with bourbon, and we have not looked back since.
A Smoked Old Fashioned is a natural fit because whiskey lovers tend to prefer flavors within the savory arena. It has been said that if you enjoy the flavors of whiskey and rye, you will enjoy smoked products and drinks too (such as Mezcal).
Smoked cocktails modifies the flavor of the cocktail, but the true wow factor of the beverage is in the presentation. When done correctly, receiving a smoked cocktail feels like a magic show reveal. You almost can’t believe that you can actually drink whatever is under all that wispy smoke.
Fill a glass with your favorite drink or craft the drink recipe below. Place the smoker on top of your glass, add a pinch of smoking chips to the chamber, place the metal screen over the chips, apply a flame for only a few seconds and capture the smoke by putting on the lid.
