Some of the greatest cocktails may be obtained in areas where there is a lot of smoking. Yes, it is true that this is taking place! Smoke may be used for a variety of purposes other than grilling. Recent experiments by bartenders with smoking traditional cocktail formulae have produced results that are much more interesting than they seem on the surface. The aroma "excites the palate and adds depth to the flavor of the drink," according to the manufacturer. Smoking, on the other hand, results in drinks that have different flavors and scents due to the smoke. By mixing all of these aspects, you may be able to enjoy a multi-sensory experience in the comfort of your own home.

Equipment needed 

The art of smoking a cocktail is not as complicated as it seems, and contrary to popular belief, you do not need a pricey smoking gun in order to get your desired result. The equipment you choose will be determined by the amount of money you want to spend and the quantity of smoke you want to add. It is possible, however, to get the same effect as a smoking pistol by utilizing a portable torch and a piece of wood plank (or other aromatic items like tea or herbs)

The Way Things Work

When it comes to smoking your cocktail, there are three methods to choose from: smoke-rinsing your glass, smoke-rinsing the whole drink, and double-boiling a significant amount. The method you use will be determined by the taste you want to achieve.

• When you smoke-rinse the glass, you get the least possible smoke taste. To begin, ice your glass since smoke has a tendency to attach to items that are cold. Take the ingredients for your drink and, just before you pour them into your glass, ignite whatever you're smoking with a match. In this situation, a blowtorch would be ideal, but avoid using lighter fluid since it may leave a chemical residue on the surface. Turn your glass upside down and let the smoke to fill the inside and adhere to the inside of the glass surface. Pour your drink into the glass after the smoke has dissipated completely.

• The use of smoke to rinse the whole cocktail results in a stronger smoke taste. You'll follow the same methods as you did for smoke-rinsing the glass, but you'll use a larger vessel such as a wine decanter or a pitcher instead. Allow the smoke to pervade the inside of the vessel for a few minutes after it has been chilled. Refill the vessel with your prepared drink and let it sit until it produces the proper level of smokiness. Don't let it to rest for too long since the most of the smoke flavor will be released in the first 30 seconds or so of cooking. Pour the liquid into a glass and drink it up quickly.

• The strongest flavor will be obtained by double-boiling a batch in a smoker or grill. Begin by building a fire in a smoker or grill with the wood chips and flavorings of your choice. Put the liquid you wish to smoke in a pot or heat-proof bowl and place it inside another bowl that has been filled with ice to create a double-boiler setup. By adding a boiler of ice to your beverage, you may avoid the liquid heating up and changing its taste. Place the double-boiler to one side so that it is not directly above the flame but still has a good view of the flame and the smoke.
