Alright, folks, time to put on your bartender hat and get ready to impress your guests. Here’s the recipe for a killer smoked old fashioned!
- First, grab a mixing glass and combine 2 oz of your favorite bourbon or rye whiskey, 1/2 oz of simple syrup, and a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters. Give it a good stir over ice, because we like our drinks cool and collected.
- Now, for the pièce de résistance, we need to infuse some smoke into the mix. Grab a cinnamon stick, light it up like a boss, and place a glass upside down over the stick to capture the smoke. Genius, right?
- Quickly strain your cocktail into the smoky glass and garnish it with a fancy orange peel twist. Voilà! Your smokin’ hot old fashioned is ready to impress. Just don’t be surprised if your guests start asking for your autograph instead of another round. Cheers, my friends!
