Why you are pouring this tonight

The Smoked Old Fashioned is theatre. Build the drink, then fill the glass with smoke from a burning applewood chip and cap it for 30 seconds. The smoke clings to the ice and the rim; the drink tastes like a campfire had an educated opinion about whiskey.

What changes from the Old Fashioned

Same drink, but served under a smoked dome. Applewood or cherrywood chips are the Australian pick.

What to pour it alongside

Smoked meats, aged gouda, or alone by a fire.
