Description: Autumn Ember Glow is a whisky-based cocktail that encapsulates the essence of fall with its warm flavors and stunning presentation. The cocktail combines the richness of maple syrup with the smokiness of whisky, balanced out by the brightness of citrus. The unique aspect of this drink is its smoky presentation and the addition of a crisp, candied bacon garnish that's been brushed with more maple syrup, creating an unforgettable flavor experience. Glassware: Serve in a chilled old-fashioned glass. Ingredients: - 2 oz Smoky Whisky (such as a peated Scotch or a smoky American whiskey) - 1/2 oz Pure Maple Syrup - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 2 Dashes of Orange Bitters - 2 oz Apple Cider - Ice Cubes (preferably clear for aesthetic) - Candied Bacon Strip (for garnish) - Sprig of Thyme (for garnish) - Maple Wood Chips (for smoke) Instructions: 1. Take the maple wood chips and place them in a smoker or under a smoking dome. Light them to create smoke. 2. Place the old-fashioned glass over the smoking wood chips to capture the smoke while preparing the cocktail. 3. In a mixing glass, combine the smoky whisky, maple syrup, lemon juice, and orange bitters. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. 5. Take the old-fashioned glass and fill it with ice cubes. 6. Strain the cocktail into the prepared smoked glass, over the ice. 7. Gently pour the apple cider on top to create a layered effect. 8. For the garnish, thread a piece of candied bacon, which has been brushed with maple syrup and baked until crisp, onto a cocktail skewer or simply drape it on the rim of the glass. 9. Garnish with a sprig of thyme to give it an aromatic finish. 10. Serve immediately, allowing the smoky aroma to mingle with the flavors of the drink. With the Autumn Ember Glow, the presentation is a sensory journey, combining the visual smokiness, the tactile sensation of the candied bacon, and the rich, layered flavors of the cocktail itself. Enjoy this warming drink on a crisp autumn evening or whenever you wish to ignite the cozy feeling of fall.
