"As many of you know, I’ve been super into smoking cocktails lately, everything from the glass, to a single ingredient, or the entire cocktail. Where I’ve been limited is flavor options! With this awesome Smoke Board from Busy Bee Cocktail Smokers, I get FIVE different woods to play around with when it comes to smoking cocktail glasses. And though I love all types of smoke, this smoke board may be my favorite so far, because even though I only smoked the glass there is such a strong cherry wood aroma coming out of this drink! I built this cocktail to match the flavor profile I was going for, which was a lot of bittersweet cherry, and just in time I recieved Sonoma Distillings amazing Cherrywood Rye, which is excellent on its own and in this cocktail. China-China gives a full, juicy bitter orange along with the orange oils with some spice notes from the aromatic bitters pairing with the Rye, while the Trinity Bitters match the cherry and imparts a tiny vanilla note. This was a wonderfully complex Old Fashioned with the perfect amount of smoke to get the effect without being overpowering, and even though there are 4 cherry ingredients, they all work together harmoniously with big the big spice flavors.",

As many of you know, I’ve been super into smoking cocktails lately, everything from the glass, to a single ingredient, or the entire cocktail. Where I’ve been limited is flavor options!

This was a wonderfully complex Old Fashioned with the perfect amount of smoke to get the effect without being overpowering, and even though there are 4 cherry ingredients, they all work together harmoniously with big the big spice flavors.
